I completely agree that religion is basically just another path to the creator. And I really like Steve's comparison to the rainbowThe unfortunate thing about religion though is that it's been manipulated over the years, at least the western religions have. And then you get things like the idea of eternal damnation, intolerance of gays, and all of that. And on the extreme side you have crusades and terrorist acts. But on the whole, I think religion is good for humanity.
I don't think you'll run in to too many people who embrace both religion and the LOO teachings though. Religions tend to like to be the only authority on the spirit. That's not to say that a religious person couldn't act in accordance with the LOO of course, they just wouldn't be aware of it.
I love your response.. It really drives home where I was fumbling for words... Thank you!
