Reply #39: In truth, I'm not real religious....

[sutz12]

but if I were, it would be either in the Eastern disciplines or maybe even a nature based religion, like Wicca. I've read a bit of Joe Campbell, and I like him. I spent some time in a mythopoetic group and enjoyed the fellowship there.

I believe that true spirituality should bring people together. Most of the religious fanatics (not saying anyone is in this group locally, but....) are too busy emphasizing the differences between people and forgetting the whole "Love your enemies, for what do you gain by loving your friends?"

See, I can quote a few Bible lines, too. I can't quote chapter and verse, maybe, but I think I have a pretty basic idea of the core teachings. There are a lot of people calling themselves Christians out there that know less than I do about it, or at least their actions would appear to point that way.

In many very important ways, there is more love in a faith like Wicca than in these fanatical fundamentalist groups.
