My beliefs are that the truth is a truth until you organize
it, and then it becomes a lie. I don't think that Jesus was teaching Christianity,
Jesus was teaching kindness, love, concern, and peace. What I tell people is
don't be Christian, be Christ-like. Don't be Buddhist, be Buddha-like. Religion
is orthodoxy, rules, and historical scriptures maintained by people over long
periods of time. Generally people are raised to obey the customs and practices
of that religion without question. These are customs and expectations from
outside the person and do not fit my definition of spiritual.
((Organized religion is organized like any organization—for a purpose: and that purpose is power, hegemony, domination, conformity, self-sufficiency, survival at all costs, & the absorption, subjugation, or better yet, the elimination of all rivals, whether real or merely perceived.))
