Could the rest of the world be told what these know it all religion experts know, so that we can settle the spiritual matters and get on with feeding starving people. I do not follow any one preacher or teacher because I am perfectly comfortable learning on my own. Just study the foundation of any so-called faith, get into the inner workings of that faith, then see if you blindly follow Rev. Soandso. I might be a handful if one of my grand kids was brain washed into blowing himself up in the name of some BS religion.
What about all the environmental folks, the vegans, gays and lesbians, Republicans, Democrats, elitists, northerners, southerners, it seems as if everyone has a religious axe to grind. Why do I call it religious? Just ask yourself," what do I spend the most time thinking about?" Whatever it is, that is your true love, with a strong chance of it bordering on being your faith.

The world just seems to get crazier and crazier.
The one thing all religions have in common is that their zealots are beyond reasoning.
it hasnt change in all of history. if it wasnt for religion we would have no history of war its like which came first the chicken or the egg. reliigion or war?
Religion is a belief, spirituality is a way of life. I wish they would get it, but they will always have the religious leader pushing their beliefs. I am spiritual and live in a state of bliss, because I know my grandchildren aren't being used in the name of religion. They may grow up knowing that they are loved and freedom to love anyone or any religious belief.
It seems we can all interpret the word religion and the word spirituality the way we want to and we can blame religion for war and all the things that help us come to terms with what we want to believe.
Those who label all Christians as bad because of wars and murder should also paint themselves with the same brush because the murdered is human and so are we all. That's the problem with using a broad brush, you always end up covering the painter in the end.
On the other hand, if I follow a religious belief system, why would I not think it right? If it's not right, why follow it?
