Lies!

Religion is Simply Regular Doings of a thing exactly as Football is a Religion to some!

Religion on its own does no-thing but it is man who does Religion!

Spirit-ually is Simply Spirit as different from the Physical, beyond and outside the physical which is what Spirit-uality is concerned with!

Simple!

Good points to note. However bear in mind there is dark spirituality (the one intended to manipulate and hurt people through evil spirits) and Spirituality driven by light, truth and unconditional love. This one builds and edifies humanity.

In summary, there’s the light and the darkness.

Gotta chose a side, as either side got loads of packages to offer.

▪ Religion is based on a book. Natural laws are constructs that could be codified in a book. Zero sense.

▪ Spirituality follows the laws of nature. how does the supernatural follow the laws of the natural. Zero sense.

▪ Religion fills you with dreams of glory in heaven. dreams inspire action and actions change the world. So how is this a criticism? Zero sense here. [b]

▪ Spirituality makes you experience glory and heaven here and now. [b] if true everyone on earth would be spiritual, but the very fact that you have to advocate spirituality indicates not everyone is spiritual and not everyone desires to be. Zero sense here


▪ Religion promises heaven or hell after death. Not every religion promises heaven or hell. Why lump all religions into the same mould? Zero sense here.

▪ Spirituality is about finding the Creator from within us during life and death. First you say spirituality is about nature and now you say spirituality is about finding the creator from within us. Completely contradictory. Who is the so called creator? If your response is nature, then who created your creator because we all know that what we know today as nature, space, time and matter, all had a beginning. Zero sense here again.

▪ There is one spirituality but several religions. Yet every religion claims exclusivity...hence there can only be one religion and all others are abstractions from it. Zero sense here again.

▪ Religion has a set of dogmatic rules, manipulative to weak minds. Dogmatic rules? Should rules change? If rules change will they still be rules? Religion is belief in the supernatural and if true it makes your so called spirituality a subset of religion and hence should be tagged "manipulative to weak minds". No sense here as well.

▪ Spirituality invites you to reason about everything, question everything to discover and understand. If spirituality is subject to reason, it will never exist. Reason is preferably applied to constructs accessible in the material world. So you cannot curry your spirituality with reason! No sense here as well.

▪ Religion threatens and scares. doesn't your spirituality have dos and don'ts? If spirituality is subject to rules then those rules can be used as a tool to threaten and scare!

▪ Spirituality gives inner peace and happiness. Why isn't everyone a spiritualist? Did you just discover spiritualism?

▪ Religion speaks of sin and guilt. sin and guilt are realities of mankind and without religion we would still have to deal with them

▪ Spirituality says: ′′ Learn from error ". How do you define "error"? What is the basis for determining what an "error" is? There has to be a moral code to determine what an error is...this moral code makes your spirituality no different from religion. I see no sense in this point of yours.

▪ Religion is human Arrant nonsense.

▪ Spirituality is natural, without human rules. Nature has rules too? Who formed them? If nature had a beginning, its rules have to be formed an entity that must be an included first cause.

▪ Religion is the cause of divisions. Did religion cause the differences in language? Did religion cause the difference is the concentration of skin pigmentation? Did religion cause the differential rates of advancement of civilisations? Your point is senseless here.

▪ Spirituality unites. which societies with strong social cohesion were formed by mere spirituality alone? Any examples? I'm sure you have none. Another load of nonsense.

▪ Religion makes you passive. First you say religion is divisive and now you say it makes one passive...it takes a lot of activity to maintain divisions...passive people will easily dismiss divisions! So what's your point here?

▪ Spirituality transforms you and makes you active. Active in what sense. You can actively be headed in the path of self destruction.

▪ Religion kills to impose its dogmas. Yet many of the great innovations you enjoy today were owed to great religious thinkers. Thomas Bayes (Probability theory), Gregor Mendel (Genetics), Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi (Algebra)...

▪ Spirituality leads to wisdom through knowledge. Sounds like science to me! No sense here as usual.

▪ Religion says ′′ divine Creator ′′ is in heaven. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

▪ Spirituality teaches that ′′ Creator ′′ is in us. Where did you steal this from?

▪ Religion says that ′′ Creator ′′ elected a people called Jewish. This is so dumb! Only the Judaism and Christianity agree to this. Other religions do not agree with this. No sense in this point as well.

▪ Spirituality knows that all peoples are equal.. all peoples are not equal. We are unique.

▪ Religion says the 1st humans are the Jews. No religion says this, not even Judaism or Christianity.

▪ Spirituality knows that the elders of mankind are black Africans. first you say spirituality knows that all peoples are equal and now you say the black Africans are elders signifying some sort of inequality among humans...this is a contradiction thay borders on sheer nonsense!

I come in Peace. Are you still in one piece?
