Beyond the Catholic exclusionary paradigm is a larger one which is the Christian one. Christians claim that if you don't believe in Christ, you can't get to heaven. Well that eliminates two thirds of the world's population!
From Neale Donald Walsch
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.
I think in metaphysical terms, I would call that increasing the speed of the vibration of life.
If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious.
A life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation.
I think the new spirituality will be a spirituality that's not based on a particular dogma. And that steps away from the old spiritual paradigm that we have created on this planet, which comes from a thought that there is such a thing as being better.
The sad part about our past is that religions, ironically enough, are responsible for creating the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as 'better.'
Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.
As we move into the 21st century, there's what the Bible calls a 'quickening of the spirit.'
