I was reading my sister's blog about religion and spirituality, Christianity versus other religions and her opinions of it all. Of course this is a topic we've shared many times.. and we always come to the conclusion that what religion you claim really isn't important, but rather how you love God and others and that you love God and others.
This was my comment:
"I still believe it's indefinitely difficult to have a conversation about spirituality among other spiritualities and "religions". It's crazy.
I agree that this world is confusing as heck (and it's also very unjust across probably the majority of it). I think that, while there are some similarities between religions, the point of all human life is the same.. to love others and to love God. That's ALL! It's so simple, yet actually doing it all the time and during the course of our lives can become difficult. However, I think some religions lose sight of this ultimate 'point of it all'. Cultural traditions or whatever can become the focus instead, but as I've stated before, that is the part that is made up by humans; it isn't necessarily a means to God, although "being spiritual" in that regard can be. Actually, I think my opinion is that many cultural things that are linked to "bringing you to God" or "this is required for you to be right with God" have merely become cultural practices rather than actual spiritual ones.. I think what God really wants to see is you working for his love and giving love to others.
The point is still the point no matter what country you're in. And it's also true that God's gonna love you no matter what you do. *shrug* He just does. Knowing him really isn't so complicated."
