One of the virtues of the internet is that there is something for everyone, from Nazis to nudists and everything in between. In theory, I suppose the idea of 'If we can get enough (insert your favorite here), we should have a forum.' I'm not sure that in the event however it's necessarily a good idea. Certainly, there would be equally valid arguments for an Hispanic art forum,, forums for the German speakers, etc. The Japanese Poser folk have certainly done enough to rate a forum. Since there is already a gallery for spiritual art, I agree that Yahoo or some other venue would be more appropriate for anything else. If it's biased to not want to start dividing things up be religion, then I'm biased. Fractals, photography, Poser, Vue, pin-ups fine. When it comes to grouping based on religious belief, race gender, nationality, etc., I'm sorr, I just don't dig that idea. The other categories here are based soley on artistic interest and I think that is as it should be. If people of different faiths can't share and learn in one religious/spiritual art forum here, then this is merely another reflection of the divisions that continue to afflict the world from Northern Ireland to the Middle East and that has gotten really old in more ways than one. BTW Peng, you left out a small area in your categories, Africa, but I suppose that gets lumped in with pagan, non-mainstream. Naked Vicky holding a flaming sword, how many MilKids can dance on the head of a pin, born again Mike railing against BVH dancing Posettes, Southern Baptist Don commanding Judy to submit to him, Dork cavorting in Paradise with 70 vigin Dinas as the rattlesnake connives with Eve and Vicky 3 debates the yin and yang of sexuality with her male side. Mother of God.
