A great man

[Lucy]

"I believe there is an important distinction to be made between religion and spirituality. Religion I take to be concerned with belief in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another--an aspect of which is acceptance of some form of meta-physical or philosophical reality, including perhaps an idea of heaven or hell. Connected with this are religious teachings or dogma, ritual, prayers and so on. Spirituality I take to be concerned with those qualities of the human spirit--such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, which bring happiness to both self and others."

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Morning Lucy
Nothing serious I hope?

Agreed, You should always judge a person by their actions not by their faith.
Some of the worst offenders of human rights in history, have been deeply religious, some of the nicest people I know are devoid of any sense of religion.

Ps. Fingers crossed for you dear
