How important is spirituality in your life? – A rather touchy question from the daily writing prompt.

I feel as if I’ve addressed this before in a previous blog post, but I’ll give it another go. I consider myself a spiritual person but in my own way. Do I go to church, not much at all anymore. I was raised Catholic but have my differences with that church. Even though it seems to be evolving.

I try to act and live in a Christian manor. I’m not always successful but I always return to that base.

Religion is such a volatile subject for many reasons. I have friends from many denominations and even atheist or two. Rarely has that ever been an issue till someone makes the mistake of projecting their belief structure on someone else.

I experienced that once and it’s not pleasant and changed our friendship.

I’m tired of wars in Gods name. I’m tired of pretend people of faith. I’m tired of people using the church to condemn others. I’m tired of fake presidents selling bibles as a grift.
