Who thinks of "other than Christianity" when you think Spirituality and Religion [Spirituality & Religion]
I identified myself and belief as Christian for many years; majority of my life so far. I started off in life as an intuitive humanist. I went through "the dark night of the soul" and identified myself as an "ex-christian", yet not quite an agnostic or atheist. God's existence did not come into question. The Holiness of His Holiness the Christ, Jesus, has not come into question. I found a deep understanding of the bigness of God in the Baha'i Faith. And it has perfectly satisfied both the Spirituality and Religion that I now believe, in balance and truth, is TRUE.
What do YOU think of when you think of "Spirituality" and "Religion", how similar or difference are they in your perspective? How important is "what you believe" or is it important that you are learning, growing and maturing in your faith, whatever it is, and that it is OK for others to not believe as you do???
No proselytizing, no "my faith is better", just a question as to WHAT'S UP for you?????? Sending LOVE, Ms A

I've been an atheist for a while, but lately I've been starting to think I could use some worship in my life. I looked to Paganism for a little while, but for me it's just too much reading and ritual and shit. So I decided I'm gonna worship the Sun and call it a day.
@BlueVeins Your comment is awfully interesting. I guess I'd like to ask you to give me an idea of what it feel to "could use some worship in my life"? Maybe it will help you identify WHAT you are looking for. I know that I missed fellowship; a sense of belonging but if you are looking for "intimacy" with the Divine, you might find as I did, it lacking in the "church", just my opinion. Let us know if that works out for you.
@MsAlaineEYes I somewhat want a sense fellowship, but I think what I really want out of it is a sense of something to live for and yeah, the whole intimacy with the divine. I dunno, I feel like I'd rather be alone than with any of the major religions that currently exist.
