I didnt' read all the replies here but a good way to discuss "GOD" or spirituality is WITHOUT using the word "GOD>"

WHen you use the word "GOD" you are implying that you read and belivei n the bible, go to church and the whole 9 yards. The Eastern way of talking about spirituality, to me, makes more sense.

When people say things like, "God loves you."

TO me that doesn't mean anything. That just means that I can be a christian becuase the doors are open to me. It also means that I can be a muslim or a taoist becuase their "gods" love me too. A lot of religion is just worded confusingly, and they should explain things that can be more easily read and understood by anyone, religious or not.

People die everydya, terrorism- it's not god doing that and it's not "god" who's not preventing it. Shit happens. If I walk outside and trip on a rock, it was my dumbass tripping. It's not " it was meant to be "kind of bulllshit.
