Engaging in religious practices that serve no practical purpose in the here now is foolish. Pray to some big man in the sky all you want...I will spend my time more wisely. It is also worth noting that my spiritual model was designed for me...I could care less if others don't approve.

Ok so your saying that you way is the way ? for you of course
Sounds like all the religions practices you have dismissed. In fact you sound just like many " churches" I have attened.
And you made no attempt to answer my inquires. That's ok I was asking for a lot of info anyway.
I pass to you much love and I hope you find what you seek

Everybody has their own way. If the Catholic Church suits a person then they go the Catholic way. If the Muslim Church suits a person then they go the Muslim way. My way is for myself alone, though I occasionally meet people who walk a similar path. I try to be one of the first to stand up in defense of a valid spiritual path even if I do not choose to walk it.

You know what one of the biggest mistakes mankind has made ? TO have this continual and ignorant set of ideals that one religion is right and another is wrong. When is the human race going to see that we are all on the same voyage. I never believed that one religion is better than another( some are pretty screwed up, yes sir). But the end results the bottom line is uassly the same.
Only I do believe that Jesus was the son of God as are we all. And his teachings are the path that must be taken, which is simply perfect love. To love one another as we love ourselves and love your God with all your heart. Yes there are other men who have taught many things that parallel what Jesus taught.
Someone is going to say " You just said we are all on the same page but then you say "Jesus is the only way" "
Well let me rephrase that. Almost all religions have there foundations set in values of Love. And Jesus taught perfect love.

Rather than debate ideas, way too many of the self-proclaimed "path-walkers" would rather discuss me (or others). This is all fear-based because they tremble when their beliefs are questioned and so must lash out rather than do any deep self-examination.
It is easy to spot when someone starts their thread with, "Swami, you are a ..."
This is a place to exchange thoughts not to discuss personalities.
Dont you end up inevitably talking about other peoples personalities? Just a thought.

The dates on these posts should demonstrate exactly what one of the main problems in this forum has been and continues to be.
Personally, I am quite glad to finally see these issues being addressed. Character assasination has no place in this forum, nor does discussing one's personality/behavior in such a manner.
Peace.

How can a person claim to be in contact with a spiritual side and yet claim there is not a desire if there is a afterlife ? I mean isn't that crazy ? What exactly is a spiritual side ? Does your spiritualness depend on death ? does it die ? If so then you have no spiritual needs.
I'd also say that whether or not there is an afterlife isn't my biggest spiritual concern right now. But that doesn't mean that I don't care. It holds much significance for me, but I know that pure speculation about the unknown will not get me anywhere. I'd rather wait until I'm in a better position to see what really is going to happen (that'd be death if you couldn't get that).

From what I hear, that might also be the final tally.
