xrazybud Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I'm kinda wondering if religion is the philosophy of spirtuality or the other way around or both? Or are they all different things?
Pepin Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you define some terms and expand the question?
Andrew79 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Philosophy is the search for truth. Spiritualty is belief in fantasy. Religion is organised spiritualty, designed to control you.
xrazybud Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Pepin: I'm not sure how I can define terms and expand the question... do you have an example of what you think I mean? Sorry I'm still learning how to talk Andrew79: Wikipedia says The term spirituality lacks a definitive definition. To me spirituality isn't belief in fantasy. Religion could be organised spirituality based on one person's or a group of people's spirituality I think though.

But if you're not going to define what you mean by it, then discussion is difficult as different people could be taking it to mean different things. And I believe my definition sums it up. As you don't agree you need to state what you mean by it otherwise there's little point debating it.
Pepin Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Philosophy are claims about reality through empiricism. Religion claims are opposed to reality as they are anti-empirical, therefore they cannot be philosophical. Spirit is a general concept in regards to the mind that describes overall well-being and affects long term development. A study of the spirit could be done internally by analyzing the subtle processes of the internal world, or could be done through feedback from an external source trained in psychology or a similar discipline.
