I might suppliment with the question 'Why to religious people go into science and philosophy and get in the way of serious truth seaking'.
By the way - this catagory IS call R&S and yes you can be S without R. Indeed I would say that R gets in the way of S

Well, let's be practical about this. In the universe, the polarity of the situation (whether self-centered or selfless) is usually determined by the lives involved. On Sirius, Oneness or a balanced situation is pretty normal where I've been where you look out for both your own and others interests. However, there are places where you do need a selfish polarity, the "What do I want from the universe?", or the lives around you are going to bleed you dry. I'm sure there are other parts where you can do the selfless thing, just figure "If I get the lives around me what they want, then I'm bound to prosper myself." I like how you just suggested it though. I'm a big fan of stability though. For example, if I'm in a region where selfish polarity is practiced, I'm going to support that because I don't really know what a selfless polarity would actually do to the flows of the lives involved. Maybe they dabbled in it before and there was a disasterous consequence. I don't know. I mean I might mention it, maybe experiement a little, nibble at it a bit, but I'm kind of a concervative about those kind of things. I'm not going to just walk in and say "Hey guys, if you aren't selfless, you are evil." What do I know about the situation really?

Yes. I am a Christian but I am not religious. I hate religion, which for the most part is a list of rules and guidelines.
This may not be the best place to fish for souls as you put it. Preaching on this board is like standing on the street preaching. Not many people are listening and they become annoyed.

Yes it is possible to be spiritual with out religion but your second question (if you can call it a question, more like a nonsensical rant of a Atheist) only goes to show that you are not spiritual either.

Yes, I see the hook dangling, and attached to that I see a sinker at the bottom. Must be weight that holds a person down wouldn't you say?
The hook, man that looks quite nasty, all kinds of barbs yet, it has beautiful colors sparking from it, it is attractive, but it's still a hook.
Naw, I'm not falling for that big piece of bread dough dangling from it, I'm a top feeder myself (spiritual), not hungry enough to grab that hook (religious doctrine).
See ya!

Christ was spiritual.
the scribes and priests were religious.
Others come and disturb because it is the nature of man. this is a open forum not much different of a times past only what people say here there is no accounting for thier speach. They lash out over pain in thier past with great venom. I dont belive in atheists because they are of a anti-christ spirit. if they didnt believe anything why would they even care what we say? Have discernment over what is spirit and what is flesh.

You have to remember alot of people feel that following God and his direction is a loss of the control in there life that they think they have. This is a big problem with non believers. Most important thing is to pray for them and remember, You cant argue someone into faith. They have to want it. alot of these people just want to get a rise out of you and try and make you upset(and obviously is has). Look to God and make him your first priority.

You ARE showing your Spiritual Ignorance IF you think that this Forum revolves around you. I have seen many Idiotic answers and if you think that you have ALL of the answers you are sadly mistaken and fooling yourself. People like you are TRYING to be gives the ones who do know the Word of God CORRECTLY a bad name and thus the ones who want to learn read things such as this and will not ask questions because of self righteous ones who think that they know it ALL. Please study and read the Word of God BEFORE you make a statement like this.
