Rrrrrrright.

That gotta be one of the stupidest thing I've heard in awhile.

Makes you really wonder what 'the Almighty' is thinking about this.

Man, I hope he has a sense of humor. Otherwise we are all _______!

It may interest you to know that even amongst the religious, there are idiots, just like everywhere else. I'd be willing to bet that these people are equally as stupid about things other than religion.

Religion always was and still is about the wellbeing of clergy. Without believers who believe what they are being told, clergy can't grow fat and round. Believers' stupidity is clergy's basis of power, control and wealth. Spirituality has nothing to do with either religion, or clergy, or believing.

That's so cynical it's depressing. How do you get through the day with such a great attitude?

By not mismatching "spirituality" with "religion".

actually, I get through the day very well - free, and happy. Cynism and realism - are two very different things.

Man, Skybird, short winded response. Coming from you that is something special. I agree on all points in just the four sentences you have written.

Brevity!

<sigh> Hmmm... ok. So, because I believe in God, go to a "church" which has a form of "clergy", that makes me stupid? I have a Masters in Computer Science but because I go to a building with other like minded people and receive the Word of God from a "clergyman" that makes me less intelligent than those who don't? If I didn't already know who the poster was and his particular, unwavering point of view, I might have found some offense in the remark.

Why, pray tell, should your sense or definition of spirituality be any more correct (or intelligent as the case warrants) than mine?
