Do you consider yourself religous or spiritual?

I will consider myself spiritual. I believe there is only one God!

A little of both. I don't believe in organized religion but I believe in God and the power of prayer in numbers.

The word spirit comes from the latin 'spiritus' - which means 'breath', 'wind', or simply 'moving air'. Latin versions of the Bible only appeared after the Emperor Constantine: who was motivated by political expediency - not divine inspiration (he wasn't actually baptised until he was lying on his deathbed) - adopted Christanity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. Prior to the latin versions you had the Greek which used 'pneuma' and - before that - the Hebrew which used 'ruah' or 'ruach': both words meaning breath, air etc.The whole idea behind the concept of 'spirituality' - or that 'spirits' are disembodied souls - is totally fallacious: a fiction invented by literate priests to beguile their illiterate congregations.

There is nothing in the Bible to support such a concept.

Religion is for people afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who have already been there.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
