What
religious / spiritual texts do you read on a regular basis?None
Sapphire, 31 Ft. Lauderdale, FL USA i dont really read any unless i have to for school. and if then, its the bible. Karen2, 15 Boston, MA USA None at all. There's a guy on my bus every morning who reads the Bible (at least I think that's what it is), his copy has no fewer than five bookmarking ribbons sewn into the binding (they're all different colors). He moves his lips when he reads, though, and I don't like that. etoile, 20 Washington, DC USA I read the King James Version of the BVible and books by religious authors such as Dr. Dobson. Marci, 56 Diamond, OH USA None. Fisch, 45 Preston, CT USA None of the above. Dianne, 16 Ontario CANADA Seeds from the Sower Melodi, 19 Gahanna, OH USA I don't read spirtual texts. I believe religion can be studied through life experiences and church can be attended in the open alone with god. Stephanie, 25 TX USA *snort* Karen, 21 Marshalltown/Ames, IA USA Like achual endorsed religious dogmatic texts? Nothing really. Lately though, I have been reading "Our Daily Bread" and the Josh Harris books. Jaden, 21 Brampton, Ontario CANADA Bible Angela, 16 Bella Vista, AR USA The Bible and Malcolm X. Eric, 19 Beverly Hills, CA USA None, really. Firelady, 23 Dallas, TX USA I don't read any on a regular basis, but when I do it is generally the Bible. Jane, 60 West Linn, OR USA www.erowid.com A-Dog, 18 McMinnville, OR USA None...wish I read more for educational purposes though. Ry, 23 I read Socrates, Confuscious, Plato, and lots of different philosophers, but does that count, I don't know. I like to read about different philosophies and stuff like that....but that is not what the question is asking, is it? Sorry. Frodo age unknown, parts unknown I don't read for "spirituality". I find "spirituality" in what I read. Jill, 60 Saylorsburg, PA USA None. I'm athiest, and strongly object to having some piece of paper supposedly dictated by a "higher force" tell me how to live my life. Talia, 24 Wilton, CT USA None. My religion (for lack of a better word for it) is a set of beliefs of my own. They center around the strength and power of nature. I read a lot, but when I want a religious experience, I go for a walk. Deb That sort of depends on a) your definition of "regular basis" and b) your definition of "religious/spiritual". I read the Bible sometimes, but hardly ever for spiritual guidance. Mostly I read it for the historical and cultural contexts. I could get into hours and hours of discussion with anyone (except stupid people, of course) on the subjects of theology, philosophy and history. Aside from the Bible, I refer to texts from other religions, as well as little-known documents dating from Biblical times. K. Lampe, 20 IA USA I read the Bible and do book studies. Janet, 42 E. Brunswick, NJ USA The Holy Bible, of course. Lisa J., 22 TN USA none mothmc, 36 Los Angeles, CA USA |
