Or did he send you a card saying "Wish you were here"Yes, I keep getting these messages.... but I refuse to leave till I had my three score and ten that I was promised... which is up quite soon now...
And... Wow... am I looking forward to a nice long holiday! This time I`m not coming back so soon, gonna take my time, just relax, and not even pay any attention to all you foolish folk down here. You can just all muddle along on your own..... Till I return again, one day.... When you all gone, and I can start all over again.... beginning with a few new Rain Forests..... in the Emirates and Saudi.... at least there they appreciate having trees and other green stuff around... And you all can have the deserts for a change..!

very much clear 
i think the word that distinguishes religious from spiritual is DOGMA 
Just looked Dogma up in dictionnary. Thank you for that learned the meaning of a word I new the existence of but not the definition.
Could have saved myself a lot of writing!Now... what has the mother of the dog got to do with being religious or spiritual..?
of course, I just had to say that... thank you for allowing me the opportunity..
One day, you all going to still be arguing, and you gonna miss the bus....

I nearly said that! How d'you we not writing this stuff while the bus is refuelling?
Everybody is spiritual, mostly without knowing it.
Young, Steiner, Freud and many other psychiatrist along with the Greek and Roman filosofers all agreed that man (humamn) is made of body, soul and spirit. A trichonomy, like the biblical deity the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (made in their likeness)
Body: selfconsciousness
Soul: environment consiousness
Spirit: God Consciousness
Since the big break up with our Maker, our spirit is wandering to connect with something.
People searching out ¨spiritual experiences¨are really looking for a spiritual fullfilling.
Spiritual people have found it, and know it.
Religious people are searching, and for reasons of quieting their souls, adopt a religion to quench their spiritual need, and lose theirself in a set of commandments and rules. They call themselves spiritual, but in fact are following a man-mad set of rules, without thinking and deciding for themselves, and thus escaping (at least in their consciousness) personal responsability.
