Lol, by sneak I mean I quietly go only to watch. Not to participate, and only beacause I dont subscribe to any of those religions.

Although I was recently in the cathedrals in Malta where I was just sitting admiring the architecture when Mass suddenly started, there was much sneaking OUT and I got some very dirty looks :)

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

Hmmmm that really is a tough one. I am still having trouble defining what I think religion is.

I guess what I want out of religion, as I see it now, is peace, calm, and understanding.

A framework for spiritual practise. Not so overt that it impedes individuality and not so discreet that I get too lost in my wanderings.
Introverted extropian, mechatronic neurothealogizing, technogaian buddhist.
Likes integration, visualization, elucidation and transformation.

@wescli...nice new avatar....g.I squirrel

Hmmm what do I want from religion? Nothing, I don't have a religion....I have a philosophical lifestyle that allows me to blend philosophy, spiritualism, science, medicine, martial arts, and personal experiences into my own "system" of explaining and understanding the world as I see, and experience it...

Heh. I don't want anything from religion. I have all I need. Institutions (religions) don't help spirituality, they limit it.

Overall, I know what you mean...

But are you not of the opinion TOTJO is "too loose"?

Or am I mis-remembering a conversation?
