...sure, I know what you mean, and because I know what you mean I known that you're wrong, from the bottom up.

.......?

You cling to islamist shit because that's the way you were raised, even as you criticize islamist shit.....

   There isn’t just one way of looking at Religious stuff. There is a way of looking at it that is absolutely primitive and ultimately harmful in our ever more globalizing world. Look at Modi’s India for instance:

   In A Course of Miracles it says “Use these teaching as toys, and they will have the effect of toys” (use this as a true spiritual teaching, and there will be more benefits). And I believe we have entered an era of change in spiritual approaches. What Modi is doing is an approach of the past. He is using religion as an ego-centered identity system, scapegoating the Muslims and undermining India’s secular system (in a bid to gain even more votes from his populist basis).
 
   My approach is that an individualized and more goal-oriented approach to most religious teachings in the world can result in genuine spiritual growth and help us as individuals and even help humanity as a whole. Check out this nun who is still remaining in Haiti despite everything:

But there is no one size fits all approach (meaning nobody has a monopoly on spiritual teachings) and there is no mandatory approach either (meaning that if you are not interested, it’s OK to not be interested).
 
+ In our generation, we all grew up with a level of dislike toward typical religious teachings. And that’s OK too.
 
In the Rastafari religion (a Jamaica based religion that combines Old Testament teachings with Ethiopian Animist traditions – The religion of Bob Marley-), the name they give to God is “Jah”. The Christian God of the white man is actually the devil. And when they say “I and I” it means the Truth in all of us.
 
That’s very interesting. I do not smoke any Ganja to be close to God. But the idea here is fine. In the hands of the Ego what is a practical spiritual teaching in the beginning does turn into a robotized realization of rituals with fear-based repressive and forbidding and absolutely scary ideas that are used to subdue individual liberties and autonomy in a very old-fashioned way so that religious “leaders” aren’t even leading anyone just pretending to still believe in these old fashioned ideologies. Yet the truth of “Jah” is also real. And Jah is supporting us in our goals of more freedom and more harmony with the world around us.

    So having reserves toward organized religion is normal. I have reserves against organized religion too. There are stuff that I feel like “I’m not ready to do that yet”. Not because I have a problem with faith but because what people who know everything better than anyone among us have turned faith into.
