I don't think it can, there will always be people who want to show how much MORE spiritual they are than their neighbour. To do that they will form groups (of 'reasonably' like minded individuals) very quickly those groups will talk to one another then very soon you have the beginning of a sect.... People, on the whole are like sheep, ever done the trick of looking into the sky for 30 seconds then have a look and see how many of the people around you are also staring blindly into the sky?

Spirituality and religion .. both same. Both are beliefs in a belief that cannot be proved.
So ends my sermon on what ever the service was about

Yes, self-spirituality is replacing religion right now as we speak. More and more people are breaking off from religion and are creating a sense of their own spirituality. And everybody's self-spirituality is not exactly the same nor does it have to be the same. This is simply a spiritual revolution and evolution. The numbers speak for themselves.

No, both are not the same. Religion is restricted to strict dogmas and a sense of limitation---and places belief on an external source. My self-spirituality is about expansion, science, and a belief in myself and delving into my higher self. I I believe I am awesome, I can prove that to you hahahaha. And I can prove how your current state-of-being is your true reality. I can go on. Also, religion is a spirituality, but has a different belief system dictated by strict dogmas.

Look at history. People are always searching for something(or someone) to believe in.

CS RULES WITH ALL CRACK POTS, RELIGIOUS FREAKS AND HERETICS, THERE IS NOT ONE NORMAL PERSON HERE ( except me of course, your humble Atheistic Heretical Agnostic - - - or what ever
)But ok seriously, anything is better then religion, and spirituality sounds the best, cos it has nothing to do with religion, but betterment of one self as a person in search for the truth and the meaning of life, and is not limited with frames and narrow mindedness of the religious rules, duality, spreading of fear and imbecility . . .

tainogirl: Really? I thought that a lot of it was man's fault. Sure there have been religions that have influenced others to do unspeakable things but at the root of it all is man's own sometimes barbaric nature. No religion has so far convinced me go to out and kill or hurt anybody, but there are those who would do so at the drop of a hat with or without someone urging them on. Sometimes folks just use religion as a good and convenient cover for the sickness that was already living inside.
I think you need to read your history books, throughtout history its been the same old story, Christains and now Muslims not to mention all the other religions.
This is a provocative subject and no religous person will ever budge an inch even when its proved to them that religion is the cause (directly or indirectly).
Facts are facts.

Yes I agree with that statement, but religion is such a powerful tool surely we would be better off without it?

What do you know of ALL other religions? Have you read up on all the other religions that exist or have ever existed? Have you become an expert? I'm sure you will find that there were those that never instructed believers to go out and harm their fellow man , what I do know is that from the dawn of time man has been killing his fellow man, weather for survival,for greed, for the sheer heck of it- religion is just another reason you can tack on there. You expect me to believe that religion caused all of that? And what of those that hold no beliefs, you want me to believe they are not capable of hurting anyone? There are evil people who are religious and there are non religious people who are also evil. People can be evil. But then there are those that choose not to be. That is why I spoke about man's nature. And don't be telling me about history books I've been studying history since I was knee high, and all through high school and University. Its one thing to read a book and another thing to truly understand it. And lets face it one had to be careful what they read and use as gospel.

I think there is a big difference between spirituality/religion. "Religion" causes division. (my god is better than your god)It has been the cause of more war,horror,and atrocity than any force in human history. Spirituality resides within us all.

religion and spirituality are just labels, maybe if all people just seen things from within and respect everything always given in love and kindness than what would we need religion or spirituality for its just a name a word a label, true religion or spirituality is all about given and helping that finds ourselfs to be one with all things, notin will ever change unless each person sees love and respect for each living thing, that must start in each person..than i feel that regligion and spirituality can come as one, its up to each person to find love in themselfs the world offers only lies and leads to hate..look within. and both sides of the coin can work..
