Religion vs Reality

If God really loves everyone, why are the things that make us human the same things religion calls sinful? Maybe it’s not about faith maybe it’s about control.

gods not real.

they dont. in most cases all are equal under their gods, but because of biased (bad) interpretation & essentially the "telephone game" over centuries - things got muddled & disinformation was spread as truth.

Religion vs Spiritual

A text-based graphic titled 'Religion vs Spirituality' lists seven comparative points. It contrasts religion as worshipping God, God being outside, separating people, teaching fear of hell, based on fear/restriction, feeling like a single drop, and based on others' experience, with spirituality as encouraging oneness with God, God being within, uniting people, teaching to create heaven on Earth, based on love/freedom, feeling like the entire ocean, and based on personal experience.

Religion in Fantasy (Some great beginner picks!)

I love when fantasy authors build religion in to their stories! It makes the story feel more realistic and it’s a great way for the authors to add a lot of depth. Here’s some of my fav picks. These are also just great all-around fantasy book, and Divine Rivals is great as a beginner fantasy series!

Grace over Religion
