It's also something I feel like is part of so many conversations and blog posts that I am encountering. And, I hope it helps me serve the world better.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863579550620358675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-47862034139204965702010-09-23T11:57:56.326-07:002010-09-23T11:57:56.326-07:00The way I think of those words inside my head, rel...The way I think of those words inside my head, religion = communal; spirituality = me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-54775153686002118652010-09-23T11:22:50.175-07:002010-09-23T11:22:50.175-07:00Religion -- rules, pharisees and extremes

R...A game with words!! My favorite!! Ok, here goes:<br />Religion: makes me think of history, specifically what certain cultures do to answer the unanswerable questions. What things do they attach themselves to that answer them for a culture and how do they illustrate through their daily lives. <br /><br />Spirituality: Originally I thought of it as whether or not a person contained the "Holy Spirit" and how well they showed it through actions. Now, it seems to have taken on a different meaning. It seems that it can now mean any form of belief, in a physical form. If I were a very strong believer in recycling, I would be spiritual about my quest to spread it's mission. So it no longer is attached only to the trinity, but to anything that a person is passionate about.<br /><br />That was lengthy!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441368513494466628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-77368224938838487892010-09-23T03:46:05.543-07:002010-09-23T03:46:05.543-07:00Religion: A distancing from God by trying to put G...Religion: A distancing from God by trying to put God in a box or give God a label or by an "in crowd" of one kind or another. I am aware that I cringe whenever I hear the word, because it's not usually used in the context of anything that seems life-giving to me.<br /><br />Spirituality: The real life interaction/interplay that goes on between and among God and each created being. It's untamed and life-giving and very awesome.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing other responses. I'm also curious about what you are thinking and what brought this up.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00664886080822930195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-69998750577206429052010-09-23T00:22:03.543-07:002010-09-23T00:22:03.543-07:00Religion - Church
