Originally posted by robbie carrobieRobbie try to see a different perspective sometimes. There are bad things in the world but that doesn't make everything bad and therefore we need to join a religious organisation which claims to be the sole solution. Here is a different perspective if you care to watch it?

It highlights the point that the problems we are facing are essentially spiritual, greed, consumerism, inflicting unnecessary pain on animals, destruction of the environment can all in some sense be traced to a lack of spirituality.
Originally posted by C Hessyes this is exactly what I am saying, we are conscious of inflicting pain on others, it is the very essence of spirituality, this consciousness of suffering. Many people I have met are religious may lack empathy and compassion, what can be said of our spirituality if this is the case?
When you say spirituality, it seems to me you're really talking about having compassion,
and caring for the world around you, but usually the word is used in some religious sense. I
never could grasp what's so special about spirituality, if all it adds to the human capacity
for empathy is religious context.
