Religion

Organized religion. A club that claims to have all the answers. Who will indignantly and often judgmentally stand by their dogma even at the peril of human life. I am spiritual. I was raised a Christian and converted to Judaism 17 years ago. I identify as a Jew. I would not however, claim to be certain that my "club/tribe" is the be all end all. I am intelligent enough to know that perhaps some of what I am told is an absolute...is in fact, not!

I despise religions whose "club" rules allow and encourage arrogance and elitist.

Long ago I allowed my common sense, and my heart to guide me. That is when I transcended "religion" and the club rules. I allowed true spirituality and personal connection to my higher power be a louder divining rod in my daily life.
