Religion versus Spirituality

forumlover · Post by **forumlover** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 12:37 am

How can you know that something is “greater if you’ve never tasted the “lesser?

Religion would have you take its word for it. That is why all religions ultimately fail.

Spirituality, on the other hand, will always succeed.

Religion asks you to learn from the experience of the others.

Spirituality, urges you to seek your own.

Religion cannot stand Spirituality. It cannot abide it.

For Spirituality may bring you to a different conclusion than a particular religion – and this no known religion can tolerate.

Religion encourage you to explore the thoughts of others and accept them as your own. Spirituality invited you to toss away the thoughts of others and come up with your own.

p.s. I seen this article somewhere, thought it is so true (except for the part that says religion cannot stand Spirituality, It cannot abide it. and perhaps the next line down too):guitarist

I don't think the two can live without each other...

I would think Spirituality could live without religion but not the other way round.

I am both a devout Christian pluralist as well as a very spiritual person.

In my life Jesus is Lord. That I am a pluralist is something you've never tried to understand.
