A religion for me.

Good for you pat! It is what is in our hearts that ultimately matters. I love the choice of your new found 'religion'. I understand what you mean about rejecting words, thoughts and deeds which are not of kind. The biggest challenge I feel that you may face is where you encounter these daggers from others, outside influences which we must also learn how to deflect them. YOu know how sometimes we can be around some long enough that thier ways begin to rub off on us, even when we are trying so hard to remain in the opposite? This is what I mean. I get faced with this regularly. I am one with a glass half full, always. Sometimes I get bombarded with those who only see their glass half empty. I need to pretty much debrief myself after being in their presence to get my wits back about me. Again, an awesome choice of religion. Enjoy!

Hi, Pat! We always knew that was your religion. You show it time after time!

Sounds good to me too!

We should all have such a wonderful goal. Take care and keep being a great person.

well, I guess that it would be really ahrd for you to get into this relgion just because as you say it will probably take you a life long to reject them all and never use them, because in human's dictionary, there are really many many non-kind words. so try to write all them down when you suddenly say them and try to find something what to put on their place!

Before I post a reply let me first ask you a question. Do you want to show yourself to be kind or you really want to be kind? One has to acquire the quality of kindness. Anyone can show himself to be kind by mastering the art of pretense. Further, kindness as a means does not justify the end. Religion can help you to attain the quality of kindness as God's grace. God has to confer on you this quality. You cannot acquire it on your own. In the end, you will find that after all, you are only able to show yourself to be kind but the practice has not laced your conduct with kindness. Follow a religion that would make you a kindly and a humane person. Religion will impart the knowledge of God. It would teach you the ways to adore and worship God. In return, God will confer on you not only kindness, but also all other qualities you aspire for.

I was born into a religious family, and enjoyed the religious life, until I began to think for myself. Soon the Dogma became boring, and the lack of Scientific support, got to me, and I walked away never to return.Since then my studies have convinced me that all Religions are Scams invented to generate Power and Money. Recent events within the Christian community have only strengthened my belief, that Christianity has had 2000 years to make a difference, and has failed utterly, and completely! The continuous learning curve that is life, has brought me to Spirituality. The study and practice of Yoga, and meditation over the years, has introduced me to reincarnation. Having seen a few of my past lives, I now can envision where I am going in my future lives. To me This is what Spirituality is all about!

Hi savypat, I like your religion and I think the world would be a much better place if we all became members. I don't expect to live long enough here to reject all the unkind words that I use but if we can get better at it every day, we will have achieved something. I feel that the deeds too will be much easier than the thoughts, at least for me. Blessings.

I think that is the very best religion. It embodies all that is good from every religion in the world with none of the negativity. I think if God himself could tell us how to worship him, it would be merely to live a life of kindness. What a world it would be! I know your religion will bring you happiness. Best of all, it will spread it to others!

Kindness is a religion that if everybody was to follow could change the world. It is a big goal to reject all words that are not kind but just because it’s a big job there is no need not to do it! I think you probably already have eliminated most unkind thoughts because it shows already that you have a very good heart!

How can I argue with that??? NICE DISCUSSION!!!

That is a good choice for you savypat. At last you already decided where you wanna belong to in a religion. If that is where you are happy and belong to then it is nice for you. I am happy for you now at least you will stop finding now for you already got it. And you could focus it now in your life where you think you love most.I know you will enjoy there and busy when you got belong to the group right. So take your time and be happy all the time.

Hi savypat. Great to see that kindness is the way of religion for you. I think it's good even tough I think kindness should be the product of religions. Which is until now it's very rare to see that because religions has turned into a different purposes. Politics, money even to differentiate people. From what I've seen and feel. I just feel that be a person who has religion, i trust on my faith to guide me towards compassion. To appreciate other human being despite their race, belief or other kind of differences. For me my religion is about me and God only not concerning what other think. I just pray for you for the best it's going to be rough road toward kindness. Hope you can be what you want to be.
