[...] One of the reasons that it jazzes me so much when I see these connections is because I spent so long trying to figure out just who was “right”. When I considered myself a Christian, everything those Muslims said just had to be wrong. If I’m a member of A.A., then don’t even talk to me about SMART Recovery. If I’ve got on my atheist hat, don’t you DARE even try mentioning God to me. (If you care, I still consider myself a “Spiritual Atheist.”) [...]

I hear you, BuffNutts. Our relationship with God (the Universe, our Higher Power, whatever you call it) is a deeply personal things. While religion can provide direction to and community for people looking for a connection to the divine, it’s still up to us to find our own path.

Thanks for the comment!

I’ve always known I’m a spiritual soul, but I just cannot subscribe to dogmatic religious b.s. On a run yesterday, I put the two together…I am spiritualbody, yet I don’t believe in gods….more specifically, I don’t believe in gods for me. For the needy, take all the gods you want, take all the gods you need, but please quit trying to convince me you have the secret password and secret handshake to heaven. I could give a flying phuck. Leave me be, and my world will be right.

I believe that all of the religions can help us find God but when they start condemning the other religions and saying that they are the only ones with “truth” then the purpose is defeated and they pull themselves farther from God. We are all so different, why would God give us a “one size fits all”? Aren’t we all part of the Universal Energy?
This is a very unpopular stance in the dogmatic place that I live. Many of my neighbors think they have the only true direct line to God. I never could buy into their dogma.
I have written a great deal about this but I keep most of it in my private writings file.
You sound as if you’ve found your way that works for you. That is what is important.
