Spiritual does not mean I am religous.

[bushy]

I don't get when I tell someone I'm not religous, I'm spiritual, that they look at me like I'm crazy. I know that my god, or how ever you religous freaks want to describe It, is not how you percieve god. I have formed my own opnions on god, through my view. I don't preach them, they are mine.

I set aside time, wednesday and Saturday. I do what ever I want, It is my break. I work on my spirit through gardening, listening to music, writing ETC. I guess its kinda like prayer, except I do it for my spirit, not a God like figure.

I understand exactly what you mean.

Gardening rules. I love watching things grow.

You're on to something. Better than jihads and crusades.

I figure if God needs, I'll do it. But he should better tell me when I am awake and not on drugs or I will forget. And its not like I don't believe in god as an entity. I've read the bible, I have read a lot of philosophy books, and spiriatual books. I like them both, but they seem to have the same thing going for them.

I use the spiritual ones more.

I feel the exact same way about spirituality.

I dont believe in the bible as a historical record of what happened, more as a book of stories with very valuable moral tales for how to live life.

I know my God, my spirituality, and dont need anyone to preach it to me or verify it for me.

Translation: I like the easy answers that religion gives, but I don't like the organized structure of religion which tells us what to do and how to think. I like to to have my cake and eat it to so to speak. And why shouldn't I?

Aparantly, you just dont get it. But thats fine. I dont expect people to understand, and I really dont care.

Jesus christ, I Wish I wasn't high... I agree with you right now.... but normally i'd think this is really stupid. I would be saying comments like "take my cake and eat it" or whatever that douche said up there.
