Spirituality vs. Religious Dogma

[LightSun]

I have an issue with organized religion. The leaders who helped form the various religions did so on an independent journey.

First I am open minded. If you are a theist, then I’m fine with that.

I will not try to change you.

This is my belief.
I. Jesus is never ever going to return. Jesus was true. But his spiritual message has been contaminated.

II. Those who are new age are also not rational. They have sayings like we are at the dawn of a new age.

III. Both the dogmatic religions and the new age people have supernatural beliefs.

IV. In fact those who prescribe to either a religious belief or a new age concept will never evolve.

These beliefs are hindering people from their taking personal responsibility.
