Yes, I think it is important. It is a spiritual act. It is not always possible though and at times not keeping your word can be spiritual also.

Of course it's important, I do not make promises unless I know I can and will come through on it.
Do I think it's religious or spiritual? No, am an atheist...

I dont see anything religious or spiritual in keeping your word. It's just a matter of doing the right thing. If you give your word,it behooves you to keep it.

Your character is important. You have to figure out how you wish other people to think of you. If you don't keep your word, they won't trust you. Also, if you value other people in your life, you should treat them well.
That's neither religious nor spiritual. It just makes common sense.

First, yes, I think keeping one's word is important. I think it can be religious, spiritual, and/or moral. It depends on the heart of the one keeping his/her word.
If you keep your word to look good to God, to make yourself acceptable to God, then it is religious.
If you keep your word because it seems to naturally flow from you and you want to do so to help others, to have integrity, and to show God you love Him, then it is spiritual.
If you keep your word because you think it is right, then it is a moral act for you.

i was told that if a man doesnt keep his word then he has nothing. because in the end we only have our words. so it might be spiritual or just the way things work. keeping your word says alot about you as a person

i think it's neither. If someone keeps their word then it is the sign of a good person. You don't need religion or be spiritual to be a good person.

You can defame your own name by not keeping your word.

Like keeping a promise? It's morally wrong to break promises but i see nothing spiritual about it.

What is there between two if one does not keep his word? If God were involved it would be spiritual. Religion is seperate and might or might not keep their word.
