Our local National Public Radio affiliate broadcasts a weekly radio program called “The Reluctant Therapist,” in which the host interviews experts on subjects related to mental health. Today’s subject explored the difference, if one exists at, between religion and spirituality.
To me, this comes down in large part to how one defines the words. The broad sense of the word religion, as it applies to practices like Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Jainism, seems indistinguishable from spiritualism, in that adherents hold belief systems to the effect that there are dimensions to human conscious that transcend the mental and physical functions of our bodies.

A Loss for Environmentalists, and Humanity as a Whole
The guy who sent me this writes, “A Loss for the (Climate) Alarmists!”
A loss for climate alarmists? LOL. It’s a loss for all humanity.
But let’s be real. This is the only thing in which Trump succeeds: ruining good things for his own enrichment.
And that can mean a great numbers of things: the Kennedy Center, the city of Minneapolis, our scientific institutions, our greatest universities, our rejection of cruelty, our opposition to dictators, the future of Greenland, the lives of immigrants who have been living, working, and paying taxes here for decades, public education, protection from formerly wiped-out diseases, and America’s relationship with its allies — for starters.
It’s the only thing we do well as a nation now: destroying the best things that the U.S. has developed throughout the centuries, so that Trump can maintain power.
A Loss for Environmentalists, Yes — But More Importantly, for Humanity as a Whole

Murders Committed by ICE Agents Are Acceptable, According to What We See Here
The reader who sent me this writes:
Don’t worry conservatives outnumber commie libtards 20 to 1 and we support ice.
You seem to be comparing ordinary crime with routine extra-judicial killings by the U.S. government, and you appear to reject the idea of prosecuting coldblooded murderers if they’re employed by the Trump administration.
Btw, it’s not just “liberals” who want rule of law returned to the United States; it’s everyone but the most morally depraved.
Sorry. Not impressed with your thinking here.

Deporting Innocent Congresspeople Who Don’t Support Trump
Sure! Shouldn’t the U.S president, a convicted felon, be allowed to deport an innocent congressperson because she doesn’t support him? Isn’t this the American way?
If this were happening in Russia, Putin would have her tortured and executed. Why can’t Trump do the same?
