2024-03-15 15:40:48 +0000 UTCI’ve always thought of spirituality as unorganized religion. Sort of like the way a person can work at an existing business or start their own business. A person can join an existing religion (organized) or create their own (unorganized). Calling it spirituality sounds cooler than unorganized religion. Also why there’s no agreed simple definition, everyone’s creating their own.

2024-03-14 16:26:20 +0000 UTCAs someone who was made to attend Greek Orthodox church for most of my childhood, I would have personally officiated as many gay weddings as possible to get out of church events. Everything they do is so. Long. Liturgy was like 1.5 - 2 hours. 😭
