I find it funny how religious people keep saying you can't be spiritual without religion.

Think you’ve been in some pretty weird religions or just one. What religions are you referring to?

Never been religious I am the proverbial outsider looking in at all of them....

Kind of broad brush. All religious people are racist, no Compassion etc. Its this type of negativity that real limits any chance of dialogue.

Soooo you are a hermit?.... Because if I had a penny for every time I have heard one say it I would be richer than the Walton and Koch families combined....

It's easier for us because we have nothing to cherry pick but our own conscience.

Lizard_of_Ahaz replies on Apr 13, 2019:

Conscience is just thinly veiled self-interest.... Cannibalism for instance... You don't want to go around eating people or you might give them the idea to eat you....

Accepting others!? Haha Today my Christian coworker mentioned to my Christian boss he had thrown it in the trash (his copy of a piece of paper). I asked what he had tossed. He said: a jehovah witness propaganda. And had a face like it was crap stuff. How respectful and accepting is that? So ...

I am sure it was just the bile.... I love to nail them in a bible bout myself.... Including a reference to Matthew 6:5-9 to get the ball rolling... Matthew 6:5-9 New International Version (NIV) Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

Follow me here Spiritual could be termed non physical because we can't sense it, measure it or observe it. Being non physical you cannot define it; give it rules and boundaries. Religion is nothing but rules and boundaries So nonphysical religion, or spiritual religion, is an oxymoron.

You got it right on the first try...

I think you honestly need to read the post and use proper grammar in determining what I actually said....

Why is it when people get upset over the "F" word they are never referring to "Faith?"

I wouldn’t vote for any of the democrat idiots especially the left wing ones like Harris!

Lizard_of_Ahaz replies on Apr 8, 2019:

Then you would love Harris she is way to the right of Reagan politically....

Atheist/Agnostic Conservative Mind....

DannyLandrum comments on Jan 21, 2019:

It's more complicated than that. I'm some combo of 1 and 3 but an actual true traditional liberal (not the anti-speech leftist that is so prevalent today. Fact is these labels don't do well to cover actual thoughtful, intelligent informed people who look at each issue carefully on a case by case ...

Lizard_of_Ahaz replies on Mar 29, 2019:

The "anti-speech" isn't a liberal it is the conservative.... Look at Trump and his views on speech....

Well the original objective was for everyone to prosper under Capitalism, now that we know for a fact it doesn't work we need to grow up and find the balance between corporate interest and personal interest. We need to restore balance by forcing reinvestment into our citizens, something that ...

Actually it was NOT... "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." "To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature." Adam Smith

The last of my crusades is cannabis decriminalization at the federal level. As she has come out front in favor this change, being Jamaican & East Indian American, laughing it off, she is my front runner at the moment. Senator Sherrod Brown, keep it in your pants.
