As I said on PSB, I have no objections to a relationship board, although I also see no reason why one wouldn't want to bring up relationships on PSB. I think of "Faith" as different than "God" and more broad a topic than "religion". I am eager to take part in chat on the faith board that is not dogmatic, etc. I also know, however, that the general topic of religion-faith-God tends to bring out strong opinions and dogma. I often just skip a lot of posts that don't interest me. In fact, I skip most of them if I feel they are too long and preachy (no pun intended).
Also, having a faith board helps to keep these intense exhchanges off the other boards, which I believe is important because in the past, such exchanges have become very disruptive to other topics.
So, I don't have such high expectations of what I'll find on the faith board (I am an interested, but somewhat detached participant), but I like having it, I like being able to have some discussions on topics related to faith.
So, I tend to think there is a need for a faith board.
