it is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

ah people are religious religious people can be varied that word is used only 1 time in the bible and it said basically: A man or woman that cannot bridle their tongue, their religion is in vain. that's in the book of James and he was talking a lot of the power of the tongue I believe religion in that passage is dealing with the person search for a closer relationship with God Now where I come from
We don't let society tell us how it's supposed 2 be Our clothes, our hair, we don't care It's all about being there... | |

People have to be spiritual to be acceptable, to believe in God is okay, just not religious about it. There's a scripture on that, too, believeing in God. I realize it's just a play on words more than anything else, regarding the institution. I just have a thing about labels and boxes. I would say being religious is about what you're willing to do, in support of what you believe. Some folks believe in some pretty harmful things unfortunately, which I guess is the major problem. Never again, not I. | |

religious people are more people that follow the tenats of the religion and the ritual.

What do you mean by the word spiritual? The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you. | |

than they aren't So it's about the doctrine of a particular organization that makes one religious? I don't fully agree, but I guess thinking about it as a Christian there are certain universal rituals practiced even as a multi-denominational, feet washing, communion. Never again, not I. | |

What do you mean by the word spiritual? Honestly, I really don't know what that means exactly. Truthfully, sounds like a loose term someone says when they don't want to be blackballed or something. Never again, not I. | |

You may or may not belong to a particular religion but you don't believe that humanity is the highest lifeform in the universe and you may pray and meditate. | |

You may or may not belong to a particular religion but you don't believe that humanity is the highest lifeform in the universe and you may pray and meditate. I heard it brought up many times in a lot of places and there seems to be as shift in word usage, one is not religious but spiritual. I've always taken it as someone who doesn't wish to be identified with any particular group, especially, in these times of radicalism. If one is religious then they labelled as radical, yet then when one says spiritual then it comes off kind of non-committal, regardless of whether they are committed to a certain way of life, which to me is religious. Never again, not I. | |

It deffinately seems to be "cooler" to be thought of as spiritual. It's as if your not manipulated by any dogma that's out there. It may be a way of saying I am connected to my higher power and I do not need any organized religion to help me pray.

people that go to church every week are religious.  and very much "traditionalists"... they take their rituals very seriously. These rituals are what they consider that makes them feel closer to the god they choose to worship.
For instance, many Christians of different denominations baptize differently, but HOW they go about doing it has become very ritualized and even though it is a symbolic gesture, many will claim a person is not a "true" Christian unless the symbolic ritual has been performed.

Is it someone who is open to life from moment to moment, free from belief, dogma and the practice of rituals? Someone who doesn t belong to an organized religion? I find religious people to be quite the opposite from being open to life or free from belief of rituals(christians want me to be a symbolic vampire and cannibal ... communion). may u live 2 see the dawn | |

How can you adequately define a religious person? what one person considers to be religious another person might consider slacking off. what one person considers slacking off another person might consider fanatical. I think it varies among the types of religion.
