It's not that I dislike the message that religion teaches when it comes to empathy, compassion and love. It's the rigidity and exclusivity of religion that I dislike. It divides humanity on the premise of which Religion is the "correct" way to spirituality. Which, in my opinion, is the opposite of spirituality. Finding your spiritual way is as individual as your fingerprint. It's in all those individual paths do each of us find a connection to the Spiritual. Kind of like a puzzle. When all the all the pieces are there, we can see the whole picture. But then, again, that is just my opinion based on my experiences.

I think religions carry a great message... problems pop up when that message is projected upon others. I think faith and hope are beautiful human characteristics until faith is transformed into conflict.
My take, if you want to belive in burning bushes, talking snakes or spaceships and volcanoes... GREAT!!! Just don't try to nail your salvation to the souls of others.
And yes... everyone weaves their way through this life... in search of answers. Answers that may not even exist. It's the journey, where we discover.
I'm convinced that in taking care of others, or looking externally for spirituality rather than internally, is where you find it. We're all connected. Have you seen "I Am"?
After waiting for months, I finally seen "I Am" on ROD. Twice. Very glad to know I am not alone in what I feel. It was just awesome. :thumbup:

I've been waiting to see that, too, since it was discussed in that other thread eons ago. I haven't been able to yet. But I must.

It's definitely worth the watch, even if it simply creates a discussion. :thumbup:
