Are there dangers in being ‘spiritual but not religious’? By John Blake, CNN June 4, 2010 1:28 p.m. EDT

(CNN) — “I’m spiritual but not religious.”

It’s a trendy phrase people often use to describe their belief that they don’t need organized religion to live a life of faith.

But for Jesuit priest James Martin, the phrase also hints at something else: egotism.

“Being spiritual but not religious can lead to complacency and self-centeredness,” says Martin, an editor at America, a national Catholic magazine based in New York City. “If it’s just you and God in your room, and a religious community makes no demands on you, why help the poor?”

Religious debates erupt over everything from doctrine to fashion. Martin has jumped into a running debate over the “I’m spiritual but not religious” phrase.

The “I’m spiritual but not religious” community is growing so much that one pastor compared it to a movement. In a 2009 survey by the research firm LifeWay Christian Resources, 72 percent of millennials (18- to 29-year-olds) said they’re “more spiritual than religious.” The phrase is now so commonplace that it’s spawned its own acronym (“I’m SBNR”) and Facebook page: SBNR.org.

But what exactly does being “spiritual but not religious” mean, and could there be hidden dangers in living such a life?

Did you choose “Burger King Spirituality”?

Heather Cariou, a New York City-based author who calls herself spiritual instead of religious, doesn’t think so. She’s adopted a spirituality that blends Buddhism, Judaism and other beliefs.

“I don’t need to define myself to any community by putting myself in a box labeled Baptist, or Catholic, or Muslim,” she says. “When I die, I believe all my accounting will be done to God, and that when I enter the eternal realm, I will not walk though a door with a label on it.”

People seem not to have the time nor the energy or interest to delve deeply into any one faith or religious tradition.
–June-Ann Greeley, theology professor

RELATED TOPICS
  • Religion
  • The Roman Catholic Church

BJ Gallagher, a Huffington Post blogger who writes about spirituality, says she’s SBNR because organized religion inevitably degenerates into tussles over power, ego and money.

Gallagher tells a parable to illustrate her point:

“God and the devil were walking down a path one day when God spotted something sparkling by the side of the path. He picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand.

“Ah, Truth,” he said.

“Here, give it to me,” the devil said. “I’ll organize it.”

Gallagher says there’s nothing wrong with people blending insights from different faith traditions to create what she calls a “Burger King Spirituality — have it your way.”

She disputes the notion that spiritual people shun being accountable to a community.

“Twelve-step people have a brilliant spiritual community that avoids all the pitfalls of organized religion,” says Gallagher, author of “The Best Way Out is Always Through.”

“Each recovering addict has a ‘god of our own understanding,’ and there are no priests or intermediaries between you and your god. It’s a spiritual community that works.”

Nazli Ekim, who works in public relations in New York City, says calling herself spiritual instead of religious is her way of taking responsibility for herself.

Ekim was born in a Muslim family and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. She prayed to Allah every night, until she was 13 and had to take religion classes in high school.Then one day, she says she had to take charge of her own beliefs.

“I had this revelation that I bow to no one, and I’ve been spiritually a much happier person,” says Ekim, who describers herself now as a Taoist, a religious practice from ancient China that emphasizes the unity of humanity and the universe.

“I make my own mistakes and take responsibility for them. I’ve lied, cheated, hurt people — sometimes on purpose. Did I ever think I will burn in hell for all eternity? I didn’t. Did I feel bad and made up for my mistakes? I certainly did, but not out of fear of God.”

Going on a spiritual walkabout

The debate over being spiritual rather than religious is not just about semantics. It’s about survival.

Numerous surveys show the number of Americans who do not identify themselves as religious has been increasing and likely will continue to grow.

A 2008 survey conducted by Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, dubbed these Americans who don’t identify with any religion as “Nones.”

“I don’t need to define myself in a box labeled Baptist, or Catholic, or Muslim.”
–Heather Cariou, a spiritual but not religious seeker

Seminaries, churches, mosques and other institutions will struggle for survival if they don’t somehow convince future generations that being religious isn’t so bad after all, religion scholars warn.

Jennifer Walters, dean of religious life at Smith College in Massachusetts, says there’s a lot of good in old-time religion.

Religious communities excel at caring for members in difficult times, encouraging members to serve others and teaching religious practices that have been tested and wrestled with for centuries, Walters says.

“Hymn-singing, forms of prayer and worship, teachings about social justice and forgiveness — all these things are valuable elements of religious wisdom,” Walters says. “Piecing it together by yourself can be done, but with great difficulty.”

Being a spiritual Lone Ranger fits the tenor of our times, says June-Ann Greeley, a theology and philosophy professor.

“Religion demands that we accord to human existence some absolutes and eternal truths, and in a post-modern culture, that becomes all but impossible,” says Greeley, who teaches at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut.

It’s much easier for “spiritual” people to go on “spiritual walkabouts,” Greeley says.

“People seem not to have the time nor the energy or interest to delve deeply into any one faith or religious tradition,” Greeley says. “So they move through, collecting ideas and practices and tenets that most appeal to the self, but making no connections to groups or communities.”

Being spiritual instead of religious may sound sophisticated, but the choice may ultimately come down to pettiness, says Martin, the Jesuit priest, who writes about the phrase in his book, “The Jesuit Guide to (Almost Everything).”

“Religion is hard,” he says. “Sometimes it’s just too much work. People don’t feel like it. I have better things to do with my time. It’s plain old laziness.”

Clinton Fearon sneaks up on Guam

The very first time that reggae godfather Clinton Fearon visited Guam in 2007, he was intent on giving the 4,000-plus concert-goers a memorable show for the Hagåtña City Jams. It was the same motive when he returned late last year as the headline act for the Reggae in the Park concert series. Both times he delivered in style, spreading a message of “one love.” In doing so, he added a new generation of younger listeners to the fan base he’s cultivated for nearly 40 years. Yet somehow, this world-renowned recording artist managed to spend a quiet week on Guam in early May. He came to raise awareness for Guam’s endangered species. He flew in under the radar, his arrival unheralded. His visit missed the headlines and dodged the ad agencies, radio stations and beer sponsors. In the first performance of his trip on April 29 at the Outrigger Guam Resort’s Bambu Bar, Fearon opened a solo acoustic set to just 18 people. Of that audience, some were hotel staff and at least two of them were students doing their homework on laptops on the knee-high tables. The rest were treated to a remarkably intimate concert with perfect acoustics. This worldly performer, this Jamaican-born music missionary, this reggae cornerstone — a showman who could easily command a $20 ticket for several hundred Guam fans — was playing for free. He made a few more public appearances through the week and his grand finale — a free concert at Skinner Plaza in Hagåtña — drew at most 350 people. It was great anyway, say the duo of government wildlife biologists who dared to bring Fearon back to Guam. As far as Suzanne Medina and Cheryl Calaustro were concerned, the visit was a stunning success. “It’s a different agenda this time. Suzanne called me up and said ‘Let’s do something on the ko’ko bird.’ I asked her, ‘What’s a Ko’ko bird?’ Fearon says. “She said it’s a beautiful bird that’s going extinct and we want to restore them. We had a discussion of similar principles in Jamaica with some things there. So I told her I got to be there. I wanna do it.” Medina was thrilled. “Everybody does stuff about ocean. Nothing for the wildlife,” Medina says. “For years, we’ve been thinking about some kind ko’ko carnival. Cheryl Calaustro, she’s a wildlife biologist, same as me, so we just did it.” They did get some unexpected help. Lisa Lenckowski (pronounced len-KOV-ski), marketing manager of the Outrigger, sent out a press release with valuable information. The Outrigger was one of the major sponsors of the visit, which was part of the Fanihi Festival May 1, which was coordinated through the Guam Environmental Education Partners, Inc., the Guam Regional Environmental Network and the Guam Department of Agriculture. There were few public performances, none of them very large. He adopted a gang of similarly-minded musicians to play with him and dubbed them the “Ko’ko Band.” Besides the big one at Skinner Plaza and the tiny one at Outrigger’s lobby, he also played at Good Vibrations, plus a couple of performances at St. John’s school. “He just kind of chilled. One day I took him to the refuge, did some work in the building,” Medina says, “(and) he enjoyed the quiet time so much they asked to go back the next day.” But more than out of duty to the trip, Fearon gave a message from the heart: “One Love” means everyone can do something to make things better. “Where I came from, you could call me a nature boy, for lack of a better word. I love nature. I had trees that were my friends. Little birds used to come and eat my chocho leaves, the chocho blossoms, right beside me, and I’d be humming away, they wouldn’t be afraid of me,” Fearon says. “Later on, I learned about ecology and how everything is intertwined. We learn that everthing, all of is, is equally important. The ants are important, the bees, the birds, everything. We feed off of each other. We all coming from the same source. “I am really hoping that we don’t add to the damage already done over the years, that we have as much sense now as a whole, doesn’t matter what side of the fence you are. If we have a problem, then we ALL have a problem. So let’s get together, forget this, forget that and solve it and work towards this problem. That’s my hope.”

ny plans to come to the UFC?
Fedor: Not in the near future. First, I need to finish my contract with M-1 Global and Strikeforce (2 more fights to go). Then we’ll see.

Did you fight a lot on the streets or to protect the ones you love?
Fedor: Thanks God, not. The last time I fought on the streets was way before the times of my military duty. There are not many altercations when I’m around.

How’s the preparation for the upcoming fight going? Vadim Finkelstein mentioned some training together with Dutch strikers that were expected to come to Stary Oskol…
Fedor: The training routine goes in accordance to my trainers’ plan. The first stage is over and we’ve just begun the second one. Hard training as usual: a lot of wrestling, a lot of boxing. Probably in the near future some of these kick boxers will indeed come to Stary Oskol.

Has the filming crew already come over to Oskol in order to tape your preparation as it was before your previous fights?
Fedor: So far there is no one. Probably it was not in the plans this time.

Recently a Russian national TV channel (NTV) showed a program on you (in connection to a religious topic) where some inappropriate phrases were used like: “Who is this mister Emelianenko? A member of a sect? The one repenting his sins? Jesus Christ’s warrior?”…”If he visits the church so eagerly why won’t he leave this bloody sport?” etc… What is your opinion on that?
Fedor: It seems to me that people employed by NTV have no decency and are not afraid of God, they lack a clear conscience. Even before that they claimed to shoot a program for a modern-day youth. You know, nowadays young people lost their lifetime values, they don’t know what they live for. The channel’s representative stated that they’d like to use me as an empirical example (= role model) for the ones who drink, take drugs, are lost in debauchery and violence. Officially they asked me for help on this matter through the media channel. The questions they asked me during the interviews had nothing to do with what they broadcast later. They twisted all the facts. I appeared to be some part-time killer part-time member of a sect. Actually, no matter what country I fought in throughout my career, never has any media put presented me like a butcher…. When I was watching that TV episode, it was a revelation to me that I visit the church more often then I have training! I go to church on Saturday and on Sunday that’s what I told them actually… Moreover, in another episode on the same NTV channel I appear to accuse my own brother Alexander of being a skinhead…It’s totally untrue. Alexander has sued them already for the damage of his image. I really can’t understand why they twist the facts. Are they after the ratings, manufactured sensations? There is a clear lack of professionalism. After such incidents I lose any will to communicate with media…

Recently you took part in a Russian hand-to-hand combat among patriotic orthodox sports clubs in the city of Sergiev Posad.
Fedor: Yes and its great these clubs exist. They cultivate not only physical strength but mental, too. For an orthodox Christian doing Martial Arts it’s essential to work on both aspects. It’s not to confuse Martial Arts with violence. The essence of Orthodox religion is that we have never been the aggressors but defenders…

I’d like to know your relationship in the family. Are you the leader in your family?
We always discuss things with my wife, I listen to her of course and she listens to me. But I’m the one who makes decisions. I’m the man and I’m the head of our family. I’m responsible.

How powerful is your right hook?
Fedor: I never measured the strength.

Do you like hunting?
Fedor: I like to be there but not to kill animals. In my life I have not hunted that much.

I noticed you don’t have many sponsors on your shorts or a T-shirt. Why is that?
Fedor: Russian sponsors are not very interested in me in one way or another. Sometimes foreign companies contact us though.

Hallo, I have a son and a daughter of 6 and 8 respectively. Could you give me advice on how to raise them in terms of sport and MA in particular.
Fedor: Of course, you need to cultivate love for sports in them. However, 6 and 8 is the golden age, so you better let them play actively, raise them through that. I’d strongly recommend you bring them to some serious sport later on (10 years or later). Their little bodies need to grow a bit first to prepare for harder training or a combat in particular.

Any thought on a potential rematch with Brett Rogers?
Fedor: Not really considering he lost his last fight.

Do you train during religious festivities?
Fedor: Well, during preparation for an upcoming fight I do.

What’s your aim in life?
Fedor: To live and hail God.

What do you value the most in people? How come you manage to stay modest? Thank you! Thanks to you I quit smoking, stopped drinking alcohol, started doing sports and respect my family.
Fedor: So you see, that’s my aim in life. Thanks God, there are people ready to change their lives, turn to the good. Back to your question: I value kindness and love towards others, ability to remain decent in any situation. I try to be the same person I want others to be.

When will the movie you starred in (Fifth Execution) will hit the cinema? It’s getting late.
Fedor: As far as I know, it was shown to public in a limited mode at Cannes Film Festival. I believe the plan was to launch in autumn but I don’t really know.

Any particular meal you like?
Fedor: Not really. I eat everything my wife gives me. The only thing I “cooked” myself lately was fried eggs and cottage cheese with sour cream (laughs).
Do you enjoy watching action movies?
No, I don’t. There is no truth in them at all. The same script everywhere: stack them with a lot of fireworks and special effects and forget about any normal scenario. I like movies with idea. I like watching ‘The Brother’ 1 and 2 (Russian movie: Brat). I have kids so my favorite foreign movies recently are ‘Hatiko’ and ‘A Christmas Carol’ with Jim Carey.

I’m sure lots of people try to confront you in public. How do you remain calm?
Fedor: I can imagine that at press-conferences some people want to generate more attention to them by various statements or even insults. I don’t think it’s good. Moreover, I always keep in mind I’m accountable for my action. That’s why I try not to play these games.

Do you consider Fabricio Werdum to be a dangerous opponent?
Fedor: Of course. He’s a cerebral and thinking fighter. His style is unorthodox and one of the more interesting.

Is it true that you run (jog) more than 10 km a day?
Fedor: On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I run 14.5 – 15 km in the morning. On Wednesdays and Saturdays I go to Russian banya (kind of sauna, check Wiki for details). Sunday is for relaxation. That concerns a fight preparation period. In the off-season the distance gets shorter.

I’m amazed by how you combine religion and don’t forget about God while being part of this hard sport.
Fedor:There is no need to combine anything in orthodoxy. This is the way of life. I try to live according to the Commandments, go to church and pray. If you are religious there is no other way than to do that. There is no such question: to combine or not to combine. You always feel what you need to do and what not in order to retain God in your heart. As for the so-called Warrior Path, I represent my country; defend its honor on the international stage just like others do. There is no controversy with the religion. I got blessing from Patriarch Kirill.

Was Rogers really greased in your fight?
Fedor: I can’t confirm anything. But he felt different than others.

Have you ever fought or beat up your brother?
Fedor: No, never. I’m older than him. Before army he was a small kid but upon my return he was 15-16 years old, so we already had a lot to talk about and consequently train together.

When you were young who did you want to be like?
Fedor: You know, I always admired what several Russian historical persons did in the past (Alexander Nevskiy, Dmitry DOnskoy, Alexander Peresvet, Fedor Ushakov, Alexander Suvorov). I read a lot about them and watched historic movies. WHen I got introduced to the world of sport the role models for me were Yury Vlasov

Fedor, your next fight will be against Fabricio Werdum. But will you fight Brock Lesnar or is only rumors? People say he challenged you and waits for your reaction…
Fedor: You know our own wishes are not really taken into considerations. UFC had an opportunity to close a deal with us, but they didn’t use it. Until my contract with M-1 Global and Strikeforce expires, there is no talk of fighting elsewhere no matter how loud anyone talks about that.

Have you ever fought Kimbo Slice?
Fedor: No, never. We have never even met each other.

I’d really like to train with you. Is that possible?
Fedor: Lots of guys who come to train happen to ask me a lot for a photo together and it really distracts from the training itself. That’s why in the period of preparations for an upcoming fight we don’t hold any open trainings or seminars. After that you can find information on my website efedor.ru or official M-1 site mixfight.ru

Have you ever smoked in your life?
Fedor: No, I never event wanted or tried to.

What do you feel before the fight knowing that your opponents are no slouches?
Fedor: I’m no different than other people. I feel excited and nervous. But when I proceed to the ring I gather myself, concentrate and everything goes away.

In your fight against Mirko Crocop there was a moment in the first when the fight hit the ground and you got into a very lucrative position for a knee to the head. Why didn’t you throw a knee then?
Fedor: My trainers and teammates asked me this very question, too. I can’t name the reason why. I’m the one who makes decisions in the course of the fight and probably I didn’t feel this strike was necessary and that’s why I didn’t capitalize on the position.

Words of Wisdom byMasterLloyd

***********************************
JT’s Complete Black Belt
Match List Is At The Very
Bottom Of This Email

********************************

If you were a part of my email list a couple of years
ago you remember when I first started to tell you
about JT “Spiderman” Torres.  Some people got
angry at the way I spoke about JT.  In case you
weren’t on my list then, I basically said a couple
years ago that JT will go on to become one of the
Greatest American BJJ Players of all time.

Some people were angry, but as always I
like to introduce the World to some of my
students so you can follow their journey.

For the last couple of years people have
been following JT’s journey to become
a Black Belt World Champion.

Since only 2 other Americans have ever
accomplished this feat you can see
how difficult of a task this is.

Not only that, NEVER has a American
Black Belt from a American team ever
gotten a medal in the Black Belt Division
at the World Championships Adult Division.

No American BB from an American
team has ever received a medal at
Brazilian Nationals before JT did it
last month either.

Will this be the year? Can JT do it?

Well below are the results of every
match that JT has had since he
received his Black Belt 11 months
ago.

Since receiving his Black Belt JT
has had 40 matches.

His over all record is 31-9

He won 17 matches by submission

Out of the 9 losses he was only
submitted twice.

JT has only been submitted twice
and that was in the Open division

JT has never been submitted in
his weight division as a black belt

In his last 19 matches JT only
lost once by points and the rest
by advantage.
JT was able to
submit the person that defeated
him by points in a match a month
later.

One thing to note is that JT has
never lost twice to anyone that
he’s lost to in the gi before.

He always comes back stronger
in this second match.  He’s lost
to Langhi by advantage and lost
to Gilbert by advantage.

I expect him to be much more
focused his second time around.

I can’t begin to tell you how excited
I am about his division. The World
will be watching, even our haters have
to ‘kinda’ route for the kid.

I believe that JT has what it takes to
become a Black Belt World Champion.

Can you do it, well we leave tomorrow
for the Worlds, the count down has begun.

If you’re going to be there, I would love to
meet you, please make sure that you
say hello.  I love meeting people
on my email list.

Talk to you soon
