Did you search for religion, or did religion search for you?
I searched for God and found a whole Universe welcoming me, I found a loving, caring, understanding and fair way to be and let others be, to share love and peace and welcome them. I wish everybody to find that, that would be an accomplishment a way and purpose that fulfills you and the Universe around as one, a whole Being.
Love and peace to all
Esthofcurt I just read you and agree with you so much, I instinctively did answer God and not religion! We should not get confused between the way and the destination
God found me! After losing a baby I was visited by 2 pastors. They not only prayed with me to receive Jesus as my Savior but the Lord pierced my heart with words that showed me that He truly loves me. That was over 30 years ago and I've learned so much about Him! He has opened many doors for me, offering me experiences I wouldn't have had without Him in my life. He is surely a gracious loving God!
Neither....religion came to me via my parent's expectations that I attend Sunday School and church as a child. I'm grounded in what I learned, but that doesn't define my spirituality.
We were created with natural spiritual longing, but we must find a way to satisfy that longing that is expressed in our form or worship. We seek to be a part of worshippers or group of people who are spiritual. So we were the one who searched for religion and not religion who searched for us. We can even change it if we are not satisfied.
None of the two, that is because , as i lived my life i saw two things, the right and the wrong, and determining what in life was right and what was wrong was the hardest part, when i finally concluded what is the reality of it all, then i compared it with every religion, and the religion that addressed everything in our society, the society's of the past and the society's of the future and how to deal with any given situation, because if you think about it, a religion that is right is bound to be one that follows what we humans know is right, and that is where understand right from wrong comes in from my situation.
I didn't search for a religion. I was already in my religion. I only searched for spirituality in religion. If and when I succeed, my religion becomes the stepping stone for my liberation.
I was raised a certain religion, however now do not believe in religion. I think it is man's way of manipulating man. It seems to be more of a business than a God-like thing. I do however, have a deep and undying faith that gets me through life.
Egg or hen, what's first? If one can answer this, can answer your question as well.

At what age did you feel religion/ spirituality is indeed needed for you in life?I believe most of us (even a non-believer/ agnostic) crosses a particular age when religion turns to look more meaningful than science or anything else that we were relying upon. Did you come across such a situation in...

Do you consider yourself spiritual or religious, and what do you see as the difference?

And what does spirituality mean to you? For me it is about being in harmony with my inner self as well as all those around me. Nothing more complicated than that.

What is the difference between Religion and Spirituality?
by Justsilvie 11 years ago
Faith the size of a mustard seed!I would love to know how someone has or has found faith in God and why they think their belief is the right one. I am an agnostic, not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god which means even though I have spent years...
