All through life we see regeneration all around us is by faith it seems normal to believe in something beyond death.

I call it religious but we get caught up on semantics with terms. I believe in God too, but not the anthropormorphized God. I have grown up Christian so I see God in this light or the qualities of God, is a better description. I think the Mystics, who seem to have no problem with each other no matter what background, have it right. Being spiritually minded, how should I act? The Golden Rule is the answer and I believe it included all things and creatures on this earth. I tend to stay away from extreme dogmatics especially as they break this rule and in this sense say religions divide, heart-felt spirituality brings us together.

The problems associated with all religions rests with the conceit of some humans.
