I Don't Believe in Religion

Ron Flatow
There are multitudes of cultures
there are multitudes of beliefs
each one holds their meaning
and each one has a right to practice what they believe

Some lessons are taught and go back for thousands of years
There are levels for everyone and everyone is in a different place
I don't believe in religion however I follow what I feel is right
I don't believe in pushing religion because dictation isn't right

I don't believe in religion but I accept Jesus as a prophet and teacher
I don't believe in religion but I have respect for the aspects of Buddha
I don't believe in religion but I offer honorability to Mohammad
I don't believe in Religion but I show gratitude to Quan Yin

These are but a few of the views of god
I acknowledge where each and every individual is at
I will not interrupt another's life path unless asked
and I will not offer religious aspects but spiritual guidance instead

I don't believe in religious dogma
I don't believe in heaven or hell because its what we create for ourselves
I come from a state of mind and heart
were feeling is the beginning of self awareness and consciousness

I practice gratitude
I practice humility
and I practice respect
because I am a spiritual being having a human experience

    Excellent!

    I believe all spiritual paths are like spokes of a wheel, with one Higher Power or Creator as the hub.

    Amen. To each his/her own. Tolerance is something I wish everyone would learn no matter what their religious (or non-religious) preferences are. Good lesson here.
