Comments on: Do you think Religion and Spirituality should be 2 different categories? http://www.e-g-o.co.uk/do-you-think-religion-and-spirituality-should-be-2-different-categories/ If you have or know of EGO stay here Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:10:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Malaki Stanton http://www.e-g-o.co.uk/do-you-think-religion-and-spirituality-should-be-2-different-categories/comment-page-1/#comment-539 Malaki Stanton Sun, 09 Jul 2006 23:37:08 +0000 http://www.e-g-o.co.uk/do-you-think-religion-and-spirituality-should-be-2-different-categories/#comment-539 I respect other opinions, but that's not the way I view it at all. I realize that ''religion'' is a dirty word to a lot of people, but to me, most of my sense of spirituality stems from my religion. Most of my sense of spirituality is strengthened by my practice of religious rituals; prayer, fasting, studying the Bible, etc. To seperate the two would be like removing a house from it's foundation. The philosophy section is good for irreligious people who still have a sense of spirituality, or anyone else who enjoys thinking, really.

Becoming a better person is a process. Religious people should be striving to become more spiritual in their lives. No, I don’t think they are mutually exclusive.

Religion for questions about religions like Christianity, Buddhism, etc. and spirituality for questions about spiritual things like the holy spirit or questioning God or higher power, etc. example: Religion What am I if I believe that people choose to come to earth to learn?

And this answer statistically is the same as that person's parents. You should have an asterisk by your word ‘answer’.
