: maybe it's because I wasn't brought up that way. I don't equate religious with ritual. My moms always taught me that religion is in your heart, and that whether you make it to church or not, you can believe in God. And to truly beieve in God, TRULY, you behave a certain way in life. That is religion.
: Some people find peace in ritual and ceremony, but that doesn't make them more religious. I have a black and white view here, I know.
but words are good like that
I don't claim to be Religious
but i am a Bible-believing Christian who just got back from church and am going back for a Bible Study tonight. I also read my Bible daily.
Call that ritual or religion if you will, but i don't read the same passages every day, and the weekly message is on different subjects.
but like i said, chalk it up to semantics
