What is your Religion or Spiritual Practice?
Just curious about the Religion and/or Spiritual Practice of fellow forum members?
as for me, I think perhaps I observe the mystic ideology that God is an unknowable incomprehensible mystery yet I'm certainly not a disciplined ascetic as I enjoy some simple luxuries and can get distracted by contemporary life and the material secular experience causing me to sometimes be lazy in my spiritual devotion
Interesting topic: I'm interested to know to???!!!
Taoist
I hate to label such things or myself under any word or religious term... but I just love Taoism, everything settles there for me.

I must say, reading the "History of God" book has been very enlightening and has helped to broaden my knowledge and it has been especially captivating to learn more about Islam as they seem to be the current "bad guys" on the human evolutionary time-line but through such reading I have learned that each group has been guilty of both offense and contribution throughout human history and social evolution.
In the reading so far, I can say that Islam makes as much sense as any other in its religious expression and I do like how it kind of simplifies instead of complicates concept of God and religious devotion to God. Sufism has been especially intriguing. In the reading of Islam there is some quality of Protestant Simplification, Yogic Mysticism, and Catholic/Orthodox Ancient-ness.
the problem with religion of course is the human potential for intolerant zealotry and so when that begins to manifest and grow it leads to trouble.....

The problem with Islam isn't the religion, but the adherents. If inbred pakis, and somali monkeys were Lutheran it'd suck too.
that's the general condition with most things. At the "deplorable" level, one can't expect much to find inspiring yet among the riff-raff one may also find those who live simply and inspiringly, the diamond among the coal.
