Reply #35: Faith is no value in itself

[ze_dscherman]

The ways humans try to define a higher meaning in life (aka Spirituality) are manyfold. There's no way to judge which one is THE right one.

Also, "spiritual" experiences can come many ways. Through religious practice (prayer, meditation), through service to others, through religious study through trance techniques (singing, drumming, dancing, yoga, breathing, drugs and brain stimulation. Or just by "gratuitous grace".

But, IMO, neither the faith nor the spiritual expericence matter in the end. What really counts is the way people conduct their lives, in relation to themselves, others, and the planet they live on.
