Re: Our paths

My spiritual journey ended some years ago.  I found myself becoming
more and more revolted by the idea of religion in general, and finally
got to the point that I simply washed my hands of it all.  If anyone
were to ask me what I am now, I would say that I am not even an
athiest.  As far as I'm concerned, any adjective one uses to describe
oneself to which ends in "-ist" or "-an" refers to some sort of
religion, where the follower is expected to follow some (usually
outdated) code that may or may not work for them, but are expected to
follow nonetheless.  In that sense, athiests are religious in their
nearly ritualistic avoidance of religion.

I would now describe myself as striving to become the most human being
possible.
