If You Don't Believe In God Can You Still Be Spiritual

If You Don't Believe In God Can You Still Be Spiritual

"I don't believe in a God because I believe in myself" - Kenny Felderstein. Therefore, if this blog upsets you, stop reading. 

Below is the definition of Spiritual:

1- relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.

2- relating to religion or religious belief.

3- one's spiritual home — a place in which one feels a profound sense of belonging

I not only believe I'm Spiritual, I FEEL Spiritual. 

My definition of Spiritual is:

1- I believe in the human Spirit. The people I'm most attracted to have a great sense of Spirit within themselves.

2- I believe in Humanity. I believe that my love for Humanity is Spiritual.

3- I believe always trying to do the right thing is Spiritual.

4- I believe loving unconditionally even if you don't get what you want is Spiritual.

5- I believe that "what goes around - comes around" and is Spiritual.

6- I believe giving positive energy to others is Spiritual. I believe giving negative energy to others is NOT Spiritual.

Many people think the only way to be Spiritual is to be religious. How many religious people are not Spiritual - more than you might think and I know a few. All religious people believe in a God, therefore, since they want to get to the pearly gates, they must have to be Spiritual. 

My problem with that thinking is many of those religious people who believe in God don't live by one or all of my definitions of being Spiritual. In my opinion, this world would be a much better place if everyone lived their lives by my definitions.

For those who hate this blog, I see nothing wrong with being religious if that what floats your boat, but don't think that just by being religious and believing in God makes you Spiritual.
