Hello,
First of all I would like to thank the community and the staff here at 4chan.
I made this thread to propose the creation of a new board: /spi/ - spirituality and religion.
Personnally, I would love to have a board purposed to the sharing and discussion of spiritual practices, beleifs and religions. I hope others feel the same way.
I know we already have /pol/ where discussions regarding religious phenomeons are tolerated, but it is usually in the perspective of political phenomenons, not spiritual experience. There is also /x/ which tolerates discussions regarding spirituality, but this board has its own culture and is more dedicated to paranormal studies.
I think that I speak for many when I say that spirituality is not a paranormal phenomenon, it is an accumulation of personnal experiences which may or may not lead to personnal beleifs.
A board dedicated to spirituality and religions would be a great place to come together and share experiences and love, and to introduce our own practices and/or religious beleifs to the world.
Since 4chan has grown to be a quite large community, I also think it is important that this community is allowed to define its own spiritual identity, and, I beleive, it would be for the best and help people come together and find friendship and knowledge through sharing.
I hope the community and the staff agrees with me and I wish you all, a very nice day.
I forgot to add that the board could be used for the sharing and interpretation of scriptures from the different religions.

This has been requested every so often for the last few years, at least going back to /q/ times. I think many people are afraid that it would be too controversial and cause a holy war.

I hope that it could be used, not as a ground to oppose different point of views, but rather, to find a common ground.
"Spirituality" is an open term, it does not exclude certain beleifs or practices.
I beleive that many anons woud like to share their experiences and practices, and, try to see in what way others' practices and experiences are complementary to their own, rather than opposed to them.
In addition, I think that for such a big forum as 4chan, of which many users are now reaching their late 20s or 30s, it is only natural that a place is made for such discussion. Many people will develop a spirituality of their own through their lifetime, it would only be natural that it is reflected here.
Don't you think?
deus vult
If a board like this gets added, it would be full of Deus Vult memes, Islamic hate threads, and Pagans.
This board needs to be created.

Nothing wrong with deus vult memes and pagans, but I think "islam hate" threads or any kind of hate threads should be moderated.
Oh behalf of the /b/oard, we would like to have another gloorios source for cringe and ylyl threads.
Such a board would be a goldmine
