Would you say, being spiritual in a sense means people are able to decide for themselves what the "truth" of their particular spirituality is? That’s an interesting observation Lee.

From the beginning of sin, people wanted to believe in "something" and they usually ended up making that something themselves. Selfishness and pride (graciously given to us by God via satan) are satan's favorite lies. If we can believe it was us that did it then that just feels right...and good. The other element of this is Truth. It is hard to see truth, understand it and finally...accept it. oh, and accept it over accepting yourself. Let me put it this way, dying to yourself and living for only truth is hard. i think that is a big reason more and more people are following the Oprah's of the world and believing in that which is "positive" and "spiritual". Its so much easier. I mean, if you had to die for something, why would you die for truth when you could die for what you've accomplished*?
