why no religion?....seems to be just a polital forum

I was just reading all the post, and I noticed that it's all politics. I mean, I do realize that election time is coming and the bad state of the United States (and the world for that matter), But isnt anyone pondering the state of our individual lives? Even if it's not a discussion about organized religion, what about spirituality....things going on unseen? does anyone ever think that most of the "political" woes stem from the fact that alot (not all) of people involved in politics have shyed away from "spiritual" thoughts.

The world wont stop if we made a little more time to just check our true selves. It may on the other hand stop if we forget to.

I think it's mainly because there's a national election in little over a month.

does it make sense to go to McDonalds for the purpose of having a wholesome, home-cooked meal? does it???? (no).

does it make sense to come to prince.org in search of deep discussion on spirituality? ??

For everyone that answered my post with links to past Prince.org discussions..thanks, but they actually were just alot of talk about Mr. Nelsons religion. And to the others that think that religion/spirituality, is best swept under the carpet for when when we are "alone", you dont seem to mind giving your dime to express your feelings on "politics" out loud, and if you ask me - that's under the personal umbrella too, but I'm not saying your voice is not worth anything expressing in "public" did I?
All I was saying is this is a politics and religion discussion board, and 98% of the post are about politics.....but I guess it's true - if a cat looks in the corner of the room long enough....everyone in that room will start looking in that direction.....(?)---(i know that was weird, but i understood it )

I do enjoy reading the post, either or. I was just wondering.

Well, the floor is yours.


I do notice you, yourself haven't been quite specific about your beliefs, most of us have. Your turn.

Morningsong.....

I hadnt thought about that when I made that comment. I just came to this forum to see what views were out there and see how receptive people are/were to that sort of discussion.
I do follow (loosley) a formal religion, but I am also interested in other religions, because there most likely is truth in most of them. and as far as spiritualty is concerned, I belive it is the basis for all these "formal religions". It's just that today people dont seem to want to learn more about whats really going on inside of us all, and focus on the outside effects constantly.

but I'm not really enthused about seeing any religious post, comments and such here anymore. I looked, and I put my question out there, and I got my answer(s). I'm not that deep and the question I asked isnt either. but thanks for the time.

Hey it's election time in the U.S. and we just have a few weeks left before it's all over. I'm sure the religion threads will surface again soon, even though there are some recent ones posted.
