Religion vs. Spirituality

I'm always fascinated by the myriad of religions in the world.
Most proclaim that there's is the one and only true path.
It's noble to subscribe to certain beliefs, usually passed
on by parents.

My greatest problem is witnessing people fighting, even killing,
in the name of religion. Look at the Catholics & Protestants in
Ireland, or Israelis' & Arabs, and the most violent of all, Muslim.

All these purported followers of God, sparring over who is correct.
In reality, no one knows for sure, so in the meantime why fight over it?

The amazing facet of Spirituality is allowing the individual to form their
own concept of God, without the constraints and rules of Religion.
This is a huge advantage in the rooms of recovery, where there are
many faiths.

We can eliminate the rules and codes, and just concentrate on the
unified goal of trusting in a Higher Power.
