Spiritual But Not Religious

Hey guys it's been awhile since anyone's posted on this, but I have this random article that DWhite found and I thought it was really interesting and worthy of sharing. Here it is:

So the article talks about the growing trend of people being "spiritual but not religious". What are everyone's thoughts on this? I'm really afraid of this because of my recent experiences with depression. How do you counteract depressive thoughts without the support and strength of God? I'm afraid what would have happened to me if I had not had Christ's strength protecting me from myself in the past few years, providing me with hope for the future and a reason for life. If anyone wants to discuss this with me in more detail please feel free to, I am more than happy to discuss my experiences or anyone else's similar experiences. I am not ashamed to say I have struggled with depression and still am at some points. I am not ashamed to say that God has pulled me through depression and has saved me from my at times self destructive thoughts or tendencies. I am incredibly thankful that God has stayed with me through all of this, and I can't imagine trying to live without Him near me. Please if anyone wants to talk this over or even if anyone just has any thoughts about faith or spirituality and wants to bounce them off of me or just share their opinions please let me know. My life has been dramatically changed because of God's persistence in pursuing me and it would be selfish of me to keep this to myself and not allow everyone the opportunity of experiencing this same thing. I hope everyone is having a great summer, and I can't wait to get back to Tech and hear how everyone's summers went. I miss and love you all. - Beaz
