A Religion for the Non Religious

[Catholic_Lady]

I like that a lot of the stuff he talked about can apply to both theists and non theists alike.

For example, when he talked about the animals in our brains, I always described that as temptation. The fog is sin. The purple blob is God.

It's the same basic principles/ideas, just with different titles.

Most of the eastern religions can be seen this way but I don't see that so much in the western jewish/christian/muslum types.  They seem/seemed more interested in whether or not you believed as they wanted you to.  I've read some of the bible when it comes to quoting what  it  says about non believers and i have been to churches recently just to see for myself.  They where more concerned about WHAT you believed rather than spiritual development.  Which is the real reason why i feel this site even exists.

Where as YOU( ) might be able  to open your mind to the possibility  that we have the same goal as far as becoming better people most pastors/preachers/fathers/decons and so on would say that you can't possible achieve such a goal of taming the  monkeys with out their particular way of believing in their particular god.

If more folks did what you are doing by simply saying "call it what you will but no matter what try to clear the fog and be a better person.... come to my church maybe we can help you."  Then we as humans can stop wasting our time on arguing who's god is right and get down to becoming the better more compasionate  people that maybe we where ment to be.

Is there a site  that does that?

If you read my signature, the Pope kinda hints at something like this, though less in depth.

I agree that a lot of religious leaders forget about trying to connect with each other through the common ground that we should all try to be better, more compassionate, less self centered people... and to come together to do good around the world.

Thanks for the compliment by the way! Thanks for being open minded enough to read an article posted by a theist and with a title that had the word "religion" on it lol.
