As a 'rule of thumb'...
For myself, as a 'rule of thumb' I tend to work on the basis that,' Anything that contradicts logic and experience should be abandoned,' the Dalai Lama.
Then again I also like this,
'Religion is for those afraid of going to hell,
Spirituality is for those who've already been there,' - Vine Delria - Sioux.
And I bet I'm not the only one on here who can not only say that but who has a season ticket to do that ...
