To me being spiritual means to allow my own perceptions, life experiences, open mindedness to possiblities, approaches to society, actions and reactions to people and a lot of other things define my views of intellegent design and devine creation. Religious to me means to allow someone else to define those same views through doctrines and stories from long ago. My spirituality is dynamic and means that my views can evolve according to what I experience good and/or bad.
I don't fit in any religion and never have. My view of God is that God is both male and female. I believe in reincarnation, I believe that the old writings are just man's perceptions of the world and spirtuality written in the mindset of the time they were written, back then a Bic lighter would be a "magic fire stick". I believe that religions are cyclical.
BTW, when I say God it is used as a term for whatever It may be. It could be many or one of any or both genders. I just really don't think we can comprehend the true identity of such at this point in time.
