Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I'm not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it's cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

Well let me ask you this: how specifically would it not be okay?

Great question! For me, it's not about it being okay or not in the traditional sense. I just feel that spirituality can be a personal journey that doesn't necessarily require the framework of an organized religion. It's like taking a road trip without a map - sometimes the discoveries you make on your own are the most meaningful. I believe in being a good human, guided by my own understanding of a higher power, morals, and the world around me. It's about finding my own path and respecting others' paths too. What's your take on this?
