artRaver 3,188 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I don't think she's religious but, spiritual? Definitely yes. Spoiler Religion is an institution established by man for various reasons. Exert control, instill morality, stroke egos, or whatever it does. Organized, structured religions all but remove god from the equation. You confess your sins to a clergy member, go to elaborate churches to worship, told what to pray and when to pray it. All those factors remove you from god. Spirituality is born in a person and develops in the person. It may be kick started by a religion, or it may be kick started by a revelation. Spirituality extends to all facets of a person’s life.Spirituality is chosen while religion is often times forced. Being spiritual to me is more important and better than being religious. True spirituality is something that is found deep within oneself. It is your way of loving, accepting and relating to the world and people around you. It cannot be found in a church or by believing in a certain way. Modern spirituality is centered on the "deepest values and meanings by which people live." It embraces the idea of an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality. It envisions an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being. (I found all of this on some website, because I know I wouldn't be able to explain it properly, lol) 2 2 ✿ cherry blossom girl ✿ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. You're confusing true Christianism with backwards rednecks. Jesus Christ preaches about love and acceptance for even the worst of sinners. So does Gaga. In the Bible's New Testament you are supposed to support equality and no where in there does it say that homosexuality, or other tidbits are worthy of hell because Jesus Christ dying for people's sins changed that. But even then, you can still follow the Bible hardcore and treat others with love and respect. The Bible doesn't say for people to condemn homosexuals, or be racist, etc....the people that do that are literally stupid. Lol. The only thing dis-geniune to her faith the provocativeness, BUT she only uses it as a metaphor not as a literal thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm I actually doubt you ever spent 1 day to read what the bible actually says...Btw Christianism doesn't only accept the new testament.. And the old one actually supports rape,violence and hate... And it actually pretty much says that god has killed millions of people himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are mutually exclusive, personally. You can be a spiritual individual and not directly align yourself with every single 'teaching' of a religion. That's how I live my life. I was raised Baptist and I certainly don't practice or even accept some of the things I did as I was growing up; its more of a spiritual outlet I go to when I don't necessarily want to see the comfort from physical humans like family or friends.

Millions of people around the world read the bible for different reasons. We don't know her exact reasons for doing so, and it doesn't really matter.
