Are you spiritual, religious, or irreligious?

Are you spiritual, religious, or irreligious?

 

[Deidre]

I'm an atheist, with an open mind to what may exist...in the spiritual world.
I'm not a ''hard lined'' atheist, so to speak.

 

[ChristineES]

I'm both religious and spiritual.

 

[Gambit]

I'm both religious and spiritual.

That's why I made it a single-choice poll.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Well, I am all three; Spiritual (concerning the world), religious (concerning my culture) and an atheist (intellectually).

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Spiritual by far.

 

[JRMcC]

What does spiritual mean? I suppose I have some religious beliefs but I don't believe that things like reciting the Christian creed or adorning Shiva linga are necessary.

I said irreligious, not atheistic.

 

[Lyndon]

I would say primarily religious but some percent spiritual AND irreligious as well. My own views are quite clear, but I have no intention to force anyone else to my belief system. And by my religions standards I am more liberal or irreligious than many. I have no fantasy that my views are superior over others, belief systems are a personal choice, no one right way for everyone.

 

[LuisDantas]

I don't use the concept of "spiritual", for it lacks clarity. I'm religious.

Edited to add: and no, I in no way, shape or form consider my atheism and anti-theism grounds for questioning my religiosity. I sincerely feel that it would be a serious mistake to do so.

Religion does not emanate from God, or even from the concept of God. It is rather the other way around.

 

[Lyndon]

That makes two of us, Luis!!

What about adorning Shakti's yoni?

 

[Aupmanyav]

I said irreligious, not atheistic.

I noted that and did not use the word 'irreligious'. Hinduism as they say is a way of life. Dharma means a different thing here. Christians and Muslims also may be following their dharma.

 

[Aupmanyav]

What about adorning Shakti's yoni?

Linga is adorned and not the Yoni when together, though both are necessary for anthropomorphic creation. Patriarchy, I suppose.

It's sounds like a gender bias.

What does "dharma" mean to you?

 

[Twilight Hue]

A bit o all.

 

[Aupmanyav]

What does "dharma" mean to you?

Rules that make the family and society work.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Are you spiritual, religious, or irreligious?

How about adding "non-spiritual" and "neither spiritual or religious" to the poll options?

 

[Rick O'Shez]

I don't use the concept of "spiritual", for it lacks clarity. I'm religious.

People use these terms in so many different ways.
