If you were born in another culture, your spiritual nature would shake out in another direction. Is this news for you?
Plenty of people of other cultures end up Christian. How do you think that works?
White Americans don't have a corner on Christianity.

being liberal or conservative that matters it is Jesus Christ.
And it IS liberal or conservative that matters. Conservatives aren't likely to treat those lesser than themselves fairly. They make or support laws that directly hurt the poor, the sick and the aged. This is not following Matthew 25.

You don't object to my last post either? Your rebuttal reflects the influence of world-view. We aren't isolated communities anymore. Americans are converting to islam as well. And hinduism. And (neo) paganism. And etc. And, strongly, atheism.
Remember, christianity for most people is just a check-mark in a box. They don't read the bible. Think this through, suzianne.

Tell me, then, where would you expect people to post about religion, except in this forum?
If you have something you want to say, have at it. Nothing, and no one, is stopping you.

Spirituality is NOT about a god with such an inferiority complex it needs constant stroking from humans. Spirituality is or should be, about the spiritual growth of each and every human on the planet with no reference needed to ANY religion.
True spirituality is way above any human intellectual pollution of organized religions.
But of course you will have a bunch of bible verses to 'prove' I am wrong.
