RE: "Spiritual but not Religious." What Does that Actually MEAN?

in #spirituality7 years ago

For me, I don't say I'm religious, I say I'm Spiritual, because the term religious or religion has such negative connotations now days that it really conflates (in other peoples minds) what my position is. Being raised in a Christian household, I hold a lot of those moral values. But at the same time it's difficult for me to ascribe to everything in the bible, because some text goes against other texts. So although I would say I am a Lutheran, I don't ascribe to 100% of the Lutheran doctrine. Therefore fellow Lutherans would probably say then that I am not a Lutheran. Therefore I am spiritual :)

Love your neighbor like yourself. That should be everyone's mind set imo.
