It never came in their mind that what religions say may be totally different from what God (if exist at all)
may think or say.
I brought the attention to this failing time and time again but people keep on falling in the same trap so I
open a poll to see what they think regard all this.

For all the woo that you've talked about in the forum, in the past years.... this is actually something that makes sense.

A distinction between the religion - the organized worship of a deity or deities.
And a god, the deity being believed in.

It is conceivable that people would believe in the deity without an organized system imposing such a belief.

Even if there was a god that was willfully hiding itself from humans, religion would have been a totally man-made institution, based on snippets of apparent interactions of that god with humans.

Something lack in your post Poc.  Lightbulb
Religion impose this and that but in spirituality is a totally different story.
From within you understand how the system works.
The teacher only tell how to find the gold within after that is up to you to find it so no imposition are in spirituality.
