I Am Spiritual But Not Religious

Religion Vs Spirituality... To me religion is man made and spirituality comes from within ourselves.
I much prefer the latter of the two.

Yep, sounds about right to me. I would put my spirituality up against religion any day. When I need to speak or hear from my Creator, I am able to do that myself. I do not need others to do it for me......bc

PS; the mission, if there is one, is to have love and goodness in all your words and deeds. If there is not love or goodness in something, why deal with it. Life is just too short.....bc

Simplicity is so powerful.

Dear bcinu, I agree with you completely, life is about love and caring, and most of us know what that means, we don't need someone else to interpret for us how to live a good life.

Thank you, as I cannot imagine needing someone to speak to the Creator for me. We know right from wrong at least by now I think I do, so I just kinda go my way and if I can lift someone up or do something nice, I eagerly get to it. bc

As far as I am concerned religion was created by man so that a few could control the masses like sheep. Ever notice how many so called religious figures were shepards? Coincidence? I think not.

I am however very spiritual believing in both Father God and the Mother Goddess. Everything has male and female duality in nature. We were created in Their image as male and female because our Creators are both male and female.

Spirituality is a study of soul. Religion is communalizing and fighting for communal interest. It is realy non religious. But it has taken as a religious. But a Study of spirituality is part of religion. Thought it exist its own. I too a spiritual. I am against communalizm but I am religious too. I am more spiritual and less Religious. I love all the religion.

Yes and I am searching for the common thread through out the differing religions as well.

There are commonalities between religion. Speaking truth, helping those in need, not to cause hurt to others, not to steal, keeping faith in God, praying and so many other things are common to all religions.

Biggest pet peeve when people try to push their belief systems on others. I am a full supporter of free will.
