some truth in there, but I wonder why? when there are so many religions, practices, traditions, what makes the one of my birth significant? or is it just that it happens to be there, the programming that was live at the time

Wanting to evolve is weakness? I don't agree. Transformation requires strength. Staying with what you were given is staying comfortable and scared.

I wasn't assigned or raised with any religion at birth. I do agree there are a lot of people that use spirituality as an escape. That has nothing to do with my journey. I have always been a seeker. I need to have my own understanding of my experiences.

I have the same questions as the other replies. I wasn’t raised with a religion, I started exploring religion and spirituality later in life. (Religion is a form of spirituality in my eyes..)

Is there something wrong with changing your views as you age? I’m grateful that I came to practice religion/spirituality, it has helped me see the beauty of my life
