Fitting for some, not for others.
I think we have moved passed what Spirituality USED to mean.
I think NOW, it has more to do with finding one's center and understanding one's self. Learning not only to be okay with yourself but embracing that which is you. In doing this we can better understand others, and how we can relate to one another.
Religion has outlived it's usefulness. I believe it stymies forward movement for the human race. When man needed fillers to satisfy the "Why" it played it's part, but we have the means and understanding to be good with "We don't know." as a viable answer. It keeps us moving forward to try and answer this not just as a particular sect or religious belief system, but as a species working together.
They are not the same thing; I have respect for the former, though not the latter; and one's observance of either type (or not) is a fundamental right of humanity.
Choose one or choose both.
Spirituality is the search for meaning, possibly in places where there is no meaning. Religion is the bureaucracy of the soul.
Spirituality is the sense that there is something "afoot" in the universe and the attempt to find out what that is.
Religion is a particular set of shared beliefs and agreed upon ceremonies and rules by which we acknowledge the existence of and interact with as a group with what we find is "afoot."
To Live With and, to live without.
I think religion is great, but I don't have one because I don't like any of them..
if you're happy and you know it that's a sin!
Aren't they the same?
A spiritual person wants to know the answers to questions as these, Why am I here? Why is there so much suffering on this earth? Does God care about us? Is there life after death? We need to know the answers to such questions in order to have a meaningful life
Religion can be whatever you devote your time and energy too. It could have nothing to do with what the true God, but a lot to do with the traditions of men. Matthew 15:9
