I cringe when people say, “I’m not religious, I’m spiritual.”
Ummmmmkay.
The difference between being ‘spiritual’ and being ‘religious’ is the difference between simply shooting around and playing in a basketball game.
There’s nothing at stake for the ‘spiritual’ person except self focus and self improvement—which is a curiously inward preoccupation in the face of a transcendent matter.
Organized religion makes more sense in the same way organized business or organized travel or organized sports makes more sense.
But you go ahead and keep shooting those half court sky hooks.
