Religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell.
Spirituality is for those who have
ALREADY BEEN THERE.
I did some research on this quote. It has been attributed to many. But R G Ingersoll was first to say it.
I can honestly say I've been through some of the most trying times an individual can face. I've been a seeker all my life. I finally found my truth in The Lord Jesus Christ. I found Him when I was in AA. I had tried everything else. Even TM, Self Realization Fellowship and the "Church" of Scientology. The latter when I was 17 years old and really didn't know any better. I've read the Bible almost in its entirety. But what "sold" me on Jesus was what happened when I invited Him into my heart. Never have I ever felt such awe, love and pure JOY. I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW.
