Sacred Altar

New Age Altar For All

Welcome all to the Sacred Altar, where everyone of all backgrounds can arrive and enjoy good cheer within the Universe. I know that the Universe has been called God in Christianity, Aria in the New Age, Brahman in Hinduism and Allah in Islam, but we are not here to preach the Bible (or any other sacred text). Instead, we are here to use religion only as a tool to help us understand spirituality and metaphysics.

But one question remains: Why religion? Why can't we just deal with spirituality? My friend, religion is like a vase and spirituality is like water. Can you contain water with nothing? Of course not. If you created something to hold the water in, that would be considered something other than spirituality, by those who oppose religion.

Also, religion has been something that has remained with mankind, something that can easily explain the natural occurances that occured on Earth. It is not that religion is superstitious, but rather it is a tool in understanding spirituality. It is a tool, however, that we cannot use and then throw away. As long as there is spirituality, there will always be religion, and as long as there is a thrist for spirit, a desire to understand the essence of the Universe, there will always be a system that can help us understand it better, whether it is the teachings of Jesus, Hypatia, the Buddha, or even the contemporary L.Ron Hubbard. As long as there is curiosity, there will always be religion.

So if you are here to talk about religion being the "Original Sin," then I suggest you go elsewhere, for if you want to abolish religion, you are, in a way, advocating a system that denies spirit, much like communism. But if you are one who is willing to use religion as a tool to understand spirit better, then you have come to the right place.

There is no membership in the Sacred Altar, as everyone is invited and everyone is welcome. Just show the Altar some respect and you will be welcome anytime.

We do not, in any way, preach from scripture as our religion is "interfaith." Even though we are open to counsel of others, we do not treat any mental problems that arise during the stay at the Sacred Altar. (We suggest you see a professional if this happens.) And finally, Sacred Altar is not a commercial website, although people interested in earning money can obtain the HTML code.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and may the angels bless you.
