24. I think spirituality covers a lot more ground than the word God does.

People have an image of God that fits into a neat little box and others are not allowed to deviate from their angry old guy with a beard.

I can't deal with people with those kind of boxes. For one thing, it is quite arrogant that they think their definition of "God" is the only one allowed and the only correct one.

I think I'll go with "synchronicity" and see where that leads.

Excellent post! Manifestor_of_Light Nov 2014 #1
