Welcome to the New Improved Religion and Ethics BBS. This is a place to discuss and learn about matters of faith, spirituality, ethics and morality. Some of us have been to together for over 25 years, so now we are also discussing health, physical fitness and longevity. This is a forum for discussion and learning...it is not a place to come in with a closed mind. This is a place one comes to understand...not to judge...not to brainwash...not to copy and paste the same things over and over.
