Religion
In reply to the discussion: What Mormonism teaches me about religion [View all]Yooperman
(592 posts)I broke away from religion decades ago. It was very difficult to do because I was raised being told that "Christianity" of some type was the truth. I searched and searched but all I found was a bunch of mostly males lead organizations reciting words they had been taught. They had no real understanding of what they were saying. Some were worse than others but all professed to have the "Truth" and yet their actions showed me otherwise. Fortunately I was able to finally realize that "Religion" and "Spirituality" are two completely different things as I know many "Religious" people but know very few "Spiritual" ones.
I lived for 12 years in Salt Lake City... If found the people there to mostly be good, honest and sincere in their beliefs. But to believe in something doesn't make it true and this is the case with all religious dogma.
I am very content to be religion free... and have zero worries about where I am going once I pass on.
Peace...
