Are we religious or are we spiritual? By Aparajita apra

If religion were a person would you still be as blinded by the dogmas it projects  as you now?  

The way its been depicted to people.  Instead of a choice or willingness it becomes a boundation intervined through a compulsion that isn't really fruitful.  No religion can be forced over.  Today we had a very distinctive assignment which gave us the task of creating our own religion.  Suddenly I thought isn't freeing your soul  the best religious thing to do?  

I mean if you are rooted to the idea of religion as a stringent dogmatic follower.  You are already binding your soul to something you dont even know.  

If religion were being spiritual, it would have been an alignment of mind, body and soul.  

Is it important for a religion to have a god?  Arent we told its the universe that speaks the language of KARMA... 

DOES RELIGION MEANS BEING BOXED INTO BELIEFS THAT INTERFERES YOUR OWN FREEDOM?   

I think I am still unclear about the whole idea of religion.  I will say I am spiritual but religious??? ...  Guess it will have to wait.  There are shamanic healers all around the world doing things beyond the scope of human  limitations.  Are they  spiritual or religious???   

Are they dogmatic or free spirited soul?  

 Long  back hippie culture created a  wave.  The idea was not to create a lifestyle it was to freeing your spirit And let everyone be free to practice the life they want.  

Aren't we all born free.  Its better to be spiritual than religious....
