Thread: I finally found my path...

I also like buddhism, mainly because it goes back the furthest out of all existing religions today and they act with compassion. Heck, I discovered meditation thanks to it!

But I truly believe, you don't need a religion to believe in God, or to find and develop a connection with God or the divine, spirit, however you want to phrase it.

The only true religion is being close to God yourse;f, and not relying on some man-made system that everyone should follow.

Basically, the Buddhist philosophy here advises not get too attached to any particular means of getting where you’re going – and then use whichever of the thousands of means of getting there it offers is appropriate for where you are now. Given that there’s so much multiplicity within Buddhism, it makes it relatively easy to appreciate other folks’ methods even when they’re headed somewhere else.
