      [17:86] And they ask thee concerning the soul. Say, ‘The soul is by the command of my Lord; and of the knowledge thereof you have been given but a little.’

      With a little knowledge one cannot write a book, in my opinion.

         paars, you don't understand the inuendo and sublety of American English. 
         
         @TroubledMan & Pcunix - why do you two always try to throw a monkey wrench into places where you clearly have no interest other than to cause dissent or smirk like a couple of know-it-alls'?  There are many ways about which the concept of the soul can be written and to which creative writers can address their thoughts.  If you're not into creative writing, than go work on some tech stuff somewhere and leave the creatives to do their own thing.

               They know much more about "soul food" than "souls in particular".  That's why there's an obesity problem among young and old here in the US.  Notice how preachers shy away from sermons on gluttony these days.

               I would say no more than anyone else but the implication of 'Hubs for the Soul' would be taken to mean thoughts/hubs that nourish the soul, not hubs from the perspective of the soul. I guess the OPer would know best what he meant. No harm intended.

      To the nay-sayers: I don't think he's literally thinking about writing about the soul.  Heard of the books series, "Chicken Soup for the Soul?"  It means inspirational stories.  And even if the book is about people's understandings regarding the soul--so be it.  People can write books on whatever they want and unless you are the publishing company through which they go, your belief in souls or no souls doesn't really change things for the book one way or another.
      
      Bill Jordan:  I would be interested in hearing more about this idea.  What are your thoughts?

   It is harassment that people are allowed to hijack a threat devoted to Christianity like this. And the implication that all people of Christian persuasion are somehow slow and stupid is simply complete prejudice.
   
   If someone had an idea about Christian hubs, good manners would let people who are not interested or in favour, to simply ignore the thread and stick to threads that they are interested in, or in favour of. I am a Christian writer and should not have to feel as I am going to be mocked if I mention that fact in the forums. From my understanding, this forum is designed for all writers, not just the atheist or agnostic writers.

         Who did Bible thumping? And how could you criticize anyone's "cult" as you put it, when you know nothing about them? This is personal harassment, pure and simple.  Saying I am a Christian is not "Bible thumping,." I don't think anyone in this thread did any Bible thumping. They simply made a move to communicate with people with similar beliefs. 
         
         Are all writers welcome to comment on any post, even when it is nothing to do with them, simply for the purpose of harassing someone for their beliefs? I think that is questionable. At the very least, it is in poor taste.

               This thread, though, was not a discussion started about debating religious or spiritual questions. It was a thread started for the purpose of connecting people of similar faith. It was not a thread to discuss if we think Christianity is a good faith.   If there was a thread started on abortion, then an opinion on abortion would be appropriate.
               
               But as always, I regret saying anything on these forums, on this topic.

                  My mistake then, PP!  It's just that I was raised in the middle of the Bible Belt and saw how narrow minded most christians were and how most of them had no idea where the bible came from at all.  Most thought the novel was written by god himself and never realized it was simply myths and fiction.  This cult has done irreparable damage to the world and is still doing so today.

                     Randy, sorry you had some bad experiences. I've met nice people and mean people from all belief systems. And smart people and people that aren't as smart, from many different belief systems, too. I know and respect people who are Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu and believe in Traditional Indian religion. To me, I try to respect them, whatever their beliefs, even if  I disagree with them.  To me, the exciting thing about a writing forum is the opportunity to learn from many others who don't necessarily share my background or beliefs.

                        No problem, I've learned how to be a better person by using some of the local self-professed christians as an example of how not to act.  If there were a god, I would thank him for not making me a christian. 
                        
                        You will learn a lot from these forums if you really want to.  But only if you can listen with an open mind, something most of your faith have a problem doing here.  I don't know if you inherited your religion like many here, but if so, it may be tough to accept the real truth about the Bible.  It is for most.
                        
                        Anyway, good luck to you!

    What is called for, by those in favor of the concept, is a plan for contact and communication apart from our detractors.

       If you're going to write about the Christ, be sure to put his name on the cover or it'll be pure garbage. If it is truly inspired, leave your name out of the binding and take no credit.

       No one is hating you and no one is stopping you. Paranoid much?
