THERE IS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ON THE CHRISTIANITY TODAY SITE
"....nonreligious people are more likely to say they are spiritual..."
(This is something we see all the time on social networking sites, but never really dig into the matter.)
LOOK THROUGH YOUR FRIEND'S LIST AND CHECK IT OUT...
The article goes on to say; "Part of the phrase's popularity can be attributed to its sex appeal. No, really. A social psychologist at Britain's Southampton University looked at 57 studies covering 15,000 experiment subjects, and reported in Personality and Social Psychology Review that North Americans find "intrinsically religious" people desirable—but that the desirability decreases if people portray themselves as extrinsically religious."
SERIOUSLY? IF WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT RELIGION IS, WE WOULD REALIZE OUR NEED FOR IT. (I WILL NOT GET INTO THE "ORGANIZED RELIGION DEBATE" NOW) IF PEOPLE TRULY UNDERSTOOD SPIRITUALITY, THEY WOULD REALIZE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE LIFESTYLE TO BACK UP THE LABEL.
I SAY BRING "SEXY" (DESIRABLE) RELIGION BACK!
James 1:27 (New American Standard Bible)
27Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
JUST A THOUGHT TO MEDITATE ON AND LIVE BY...PLEASE SHARE COMMENTS AND INSIGHT, SO MUCH MORE CAN BE SAID.
