Religion, science, and spirituality help us make sense of the world. Life without at least one of them is a lonely and confusing place.
The problem I have with organized religion is the belief that the afterlife is also run by old white men.
There is but one religion of God, one Truth underlying the different names of religion. That universal state of consciousness is very hard to attain unless one has Self-realization, the knowing that we are souls and that all souls are a part of the One God
Realize that you are not really a fleshly being; neither categorize yourself as a Hindu nor as an American, or any other conception you may have of yourself that is limiting and sense-bound.
Self-realization is, in fact, the only religion. For it is the true purpose of religion, no matter how people define their beliefs.
The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God.
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.
Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.
I don't profess any religion; I don't think it's possible that there is a God; I have the greatest difficulty in understanding what is meant by the words 'spiritual' or 'spirituality.'
