I was taking a Da Vinci Code inspired look at Christianity the other day, and was thinking about spiritual buck passing.
It’s really quite a dangerous thing to do as it places the control of your spiritual development in someone elses hands. I find it quite unsettling, simply accepting what a pastor/priest/guru says without any form of critical examination.
What happens when the preconceived code that is handed down from past times doesn’t fit, or has doubt thrown on it’s reliability? How long can you paper over the cracks?
It’s for reasons like this that I think critical thinking and spirituality should go hand in glove.
Amen to that…lol…I’m all for looking for truth from within.
