| Sorry, I am not really a verball person. I am more of a visual person. I tend to write the same way I think, which is most of the time confusing and not very understandable to people other then myself.
You bring up some very interesting points. You are right I should say spirituality instead of religion. Although, I think spirituality and religion are one in the same. I think people have varying levels of spirituality and religion is only the category of belief that they feel fits them best. At the core of it all is spirituality.
So you are saying religion has served a purpose throughout history as a way for getting groups of people together? A strength in numbers type of thing? And as a way of passing on information from generation to another? Hmmm, I never thought of it that way, but religion was a great way of passing on cultures/beleifs/ideas from generation to generation.
As far as the Native Americans and Europeans are concerned, the core belief was still the same for both cultures even though the religion itself was drastically different. There is a supreme being and a afterlife.
Thank you for your comments, you have given me food for thought tonight. :-)
Yes, I know I don't know how to spell. What can I say, I was born in the era of spellcheckers. |
