Hi All,
I've had some problems with my profile over that last couple of months, specifically the "Religion" category. (If you open Edit My Profile it is listed as "Feelings About Religion".)
When I first filled out my profile, back in March of 2009, I entered "Former Catholic" and that seemed to be fine but I was never really satisfied with that since I haven't been an active Catholic since I got my first car in 1967. I'm a very, very former Catholic.
A couple of months ago, I ran across a quote that nicely summed up my feelings:
"Faith: 'that which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.'" - Bram Stoker
I replaced "Former Catholic" with it and saved my profile. A while later I wanted to make another change to my profile and was surprised to find the Religion category was now blank.
Thought maybe the quote was too long or something, so I went back, reluctantly, to "Former Catholic".
Today I was making another edit to my profile and saw the Religion field was blank again. I've made many updates to my profile to other categories and have never had the reverting to blank problem in any of them. I don't know what to think about why this is happening. I sure hope no one is doing this based on their own beliefs. (Can't imagine who or why they would - nothing I posted was very extreme or purposely offensive.)
I've updated it again to "Not interested enough to be an agnostic." Wonder how long it stays up...
Best,
Melody
