Spiritual
I had a few drink with my ex-immediate boss.
He is now doing his own business and doing well. One thing he kept highlighting was that he has become very spiritual. He claims that he hardly eats meat and having more compassion.
Man was created with a need to fill his spiritual vacuum. Only God can truly fill this. But when you do not have God, men look for all sort of things to fill this void. The danger when mankind stop believing in his Creator, is not that he will believe in nothing; but the danger is that he will believe absolutely anything, even ridiculous things!
Yes, there are various types of denomination with Christianity and each with slightly different emphasis. It is true that the Word of God at man's hand has always suffered loss, but at least their philosophies are based on the word of God. Their interpretation is based on something divine, and surely when men interprets the Word of God it may be different and hence the different emphasis. But at least their philosophies are based on the word of God.
But with eastern religions, the philosophies of men have become deified and become a religion. That is the difference.
