What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?

  • Well let me ask you this: how specifically would it not be okay?

    Great question! For me, it's not about it being okay or not in the traditional sense. I just feel that spirituality can be a personal journey that doesn't necessarily require the framework of an organized religion. It's like taking a road trip without a map - sometimes the discoveries you make on your own are the most meaningful. I believe in being a good human, guided by my own understanding of a higher power, morals, and the world around me. It's about finding my own path and respecting others' paths too. What's your take on this?

  • I strongly agree that religious establishments are creations of humans. Even if the claims within religious canons are true, the religion and texts are all interpretations by flawed human beings, and the rituals practiced were invented by them. Growing up in a religious family, I understand how easy it is to be indoctrinated into a certain faith. I believe that early exposure to religion can have a corrupting effect on our minds.
