How does disability affect your spirituality?

Last time I got many positive responses as to wether God loves disabled people…my question now is how does disability affect your spirituality?

In my case I am still confused about God’s love speaking strictly in my perspective(so please don’t judge me)and I feel I am not very spiritual coz though i don’t doubt God exists ,forgive my foolishness… but I feel disability is a punishment in a way and to me it looks a really big one.Disability is disability and though it’s physical severity makes a relative difference from individual to individual.Psychologically i think the weight is still the same

I agree that disability can teach the individual affected as well as all those around him a few lessons in life because it can be a test of character and spirit but when I think about it it does not ipso facto always bring one closer to God or being good,in fact it can drive someone in the opposite direction through doubt and self loathing

What are your thoughts about this

Science -vs- Spirituality?

Science is a way of testing something, getting a result & through means of priviously-rendered knowledge, predicting what should happen when the subject is tested a 2nd time. Spirituality is somewhat different, however… You cannot just “predict” that just because your prayers were answered the 1st time then the next time you ask God/idol/Jesus/sky/FSM then you will get the same results. I’m a believer every other week, and an Atheists spuratically…. Should I feel bad for being obsessed with science and not really getting spirituality/religion? O.o what do you think personally?

Where to go from here?

I’m leaving the Christian faith. All my family is Christian, and all my friends are too. Basically I’ve built my life around this belief system, and I don’t know how to completely escape it. I’m not necessarily leaving some of the Christian principles- love your neighbor, serving others, etc. I’m in nursing school and aspire to help people for the rest of my life. I truly do love my family and friends, and I adhere to a lot of the teachings of Christ, but not his divinity. I don’t believe the bible is the inspired word of God, and I don’t believe people are going to hell because they don’t believe in Jesus. I’m taking a world religions course and I just don’t see how this could ever be the truth. There is a beautiful, diverse world, and Christianity is far to exclusive for me. I just don’t know how to even start this process- everyone thinks I’m a Christian. How do I tell the world I’m not?

Thanks for your insight

Also, if you’re wondering what I am now if not Christian… I’m much more into spirituality, and I think what I learned from Buddhism makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure if I believe in God, and I don’t think humans really have access to ever knowing what’s beyond this life. All we can truly know is the present- and that’s where I want to be.

Peace & Love <3

What do you think of new age spirituality?

The New Age (also known as the New Age Movement, New Age spirituality, and Cosmic Humanism) is a decentralized Western social and spiritual movement that seeks “Universal Truth” and the attainment of the highest individual human potential. It combines aspects of cosmology, astrology, esotericism, alternative medicine, music, collectivism, sustainability, and nature. New Age spirituality is characterized by an individual approach to spiritual practices and philosophies, while rejecting religious doctrine and dogma.

The New Age Movement includes elements of older spiritual and religious traditions ranging from atheism and monotheism through classical pantheism, naturalistic pantheism, and panentheism to polytheism combined with science and Gaia philosophy: particularly archaeoastronomy, astronomy, ecology, environmentalism, the Gaia hypothesis, psychology, and physics. New Age practices and philosophies sometimes draw inspiration from major world religions: Buddhism, Chinese folk religion, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism; with particularly strong influences from East Asian religions, Gnosticism, Neopaganism, New Thought, Spiritualism, Theosophy, Universalism, and Western esotericism.[2] Additional phrases which may refer to the New Age Movement include All is One[3] and Mind-Body-Spirit.[1]

The modern New Age Movement emerged as a distinct lifestyle from the late 1960s through the early 1970s, although elements can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. It gained momentum in the 1980s and strengthened with the Harmonic Convergence event in 1987. Diverse individuals from around the world practice New Age spirituality.
