So it's a place for people to post their problems anonymously and get some sort of help from being able to tell people their problem and have people sympathize with them or see their own problems dwarfed. I think it's a good idea for a site and a good place to turn to when you don't want your own family and friends to know about your problems or you need more help.

well basically i think it is for people that have done something they feel guilty about and to get it off their chest for others to know... its kinda like telling a secret but know one knows who its about.

Yeah. It's a confession site. You confess what's making you feel guilty. It's not the first of it's kind.

I think it's fine, but I hope people don't think that they are getting their sins forgiven for telling them to a website...

Yeah I got the impression of a "I have a dilemma," "I have a problem," and a "I need to vent," site rather than a religious confession, or else you would just go to a priest. A lot of it isn't really confessions, anyway, but just complaints and such. I agree with Knoxbox on it, really. Just to say it and have people sympathize is enough for them.

You have a great knack for turning everything into a religious debate.

I'm not turning it into a debate. There are some websites that offer "forgiveness." A church near me has one.

All I am saying is most people aren't looking for that. And I don't really like to go in every thread you post in and see all this religious stuff.

Its not that I do not believe in god, it is that he is not all I want to talk about.
