R is for religion – the bane of Christianity. Bowing, weeping, singing, sitting, standing, kneeling, chanting, raising hands! Meaning is lost and the lost find no meaning. Add a personal touch and everything blossoms with spirituality and God rejoices. (This is written in response to ABC Wednesday's prompt.)
Religiosity does get confused with faith.

Congratulations on winning the Word Guild award. Your words are absolutely true.
ReplyDeleteInteresting definition of religion. I prefer this one, which seems quite appropriate for Christians:
ReplyDelete"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27).
