Religion vs. Spirituality
Spirituality seems to be a popular topic these days, even amoung people who don't subscribe to religion. Is there a real difference, in your opinion? If so, what?

well for me...religion is about rules and laws of individual churches denominations etc...and each set of rules being according to what they feel they have studied and made up..there what do they call them...by laws or something...anyhow religions like any kind of a union...the group can only be as good as those involved in the group...and most often you get any group togther and there is a power strugle...right wrong decisions made etc...conflict eventualy comes about and there you have the split...and the cycle continues....
spirituality on the other hand is personal...something in us...a connection.....a feeling...a knowing ...a sensing..an awareness....

Religion to me is seeking answers outside of oneself ...spirituality is seeking answers within.
Religion is memorizing a set of beliefs....spirituality is realizing through understanding. Religion speaks to a group....spirituality to one self.

Religion is an organized group..spirituality is beliefs individual or other wise. A religion does not have to have set laws..some like my ministry respect and honor all spiritual paths and do not not try to sway people to another..but we can all gather together to release the negativity we may have experienced in the recent week or whatever...Having a truley spiritual feeling is great...when you get a group of people feeling that whether their thoughts are from the same spiritual beliefs or not is a great experience...recognise others for the love that is there regardless of why...

No one can explain how humans can achieve the nature of a different species but we continue to deceive ourselves we can be spiritual.
