You can be spiritual without the church. God will love you even if you don’t pay tithes or call him/her Brahma, Yahweh or Allah. It is possible to use both the teachings of Jesus and Buddha to chart your own spiritual journey. You can worship God through nature just as you can slap a tambourine in a choir stand. You can find truth in all of this creation not just in one book.
The one thing I love about spirituality is that it allows you to chart your own spiritual path, call the Creator what you want, use whatever methods for connection that you like but most important it allows you to maintain your own identity, culture and heritage with no conformity. Spirituality transcends race and religious beliefs and gives opportunity for true freedom.
What can bring people of all races, cultures and heritage together under one happy banner? Spirituality. One of the things I love most about spirituality is that I am free to be me.
