Some seem to believe that one can only be spiritual if one takes the beliefs, dogma, and leaders of one's sect Deadly Seriously, doncha know? http://www.serve.com/cmtan/buddhism/Lighter/index.html http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/buddhism/16275 http://www.serve.com/cmtan/buddhism/Lighter/funny.qna.html http://www.google.com/Top/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Humor/ ...and dozens more.
