They have also built hospitals, shelters, pregnancy centers and all sorts of ministries.<br /><br />True religion is to feed the hungry and cloth the naked. Christ mandated that. True religion is also to protect the weak. Sometimes that means fighting. Sometimes that means war.<br /><br />Without people who believed this way, we'd all be speaking German or Japanese right now.<br /><br />Is nothing worth fighting for for a person guided by "spirituality"?Melissa Clouthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864991953502438461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-82877196525009824942006-12-13T06:44:00.000-06:002006-12-13T06:44:00.000-06:00That's why there is a huge difference between "rel...That's why there is a huge difference between "religion" and "true spirituality". Religion is a man made institution and thus open for all sorts of short comings, critizism and failures. It displays a lack of understanding, which in turn can only bring destruction and death.<br /><br />Spirituality has to do with authenticity, dedication, love and peace. It allows for insight and understanding on a different level. Most of all, it brings one to experientially know God. Thus, it brings an inward transformation. War and hate is not possible when true spirituality comes into play. War and hate will alwasy be with us as long as we look to "religion" and thus it gives one something and someone to blame. Sadly, many blame God. In truth, it has nothing whatsoever to do with God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
