I agree Joe,
I am concerned that the spirituality issue seems to be such an important one
in evaluating the worth of the individual. Am I less worthy to you because
I have no spirituality (and just for the record whoever suggested that
spirituality was god or goddess or interconnectedness to me that is still
not a spirituality I feel comfortable with). The talk of 'recruitment'
scares the hell out of me, well perhaps 'scare' is too strong a word, but it
does make me sick.
I don't want to recruit anyone to my way of thinking, I want to let them
know what I think and if they agree they do, if they don't they don't -
unless something in the world has changed and nobody told me, there is still
only one way to *make* someone do what you want them to (gee when was the
last time religion was used in that way).
Regards,
Sandy
