WHAT IS YOUR RELIGION

In San Francisco, if somebody asked you, "Are you a Christian, they are asking you 'what is your religion?' " (Rarely would someone ever asked you that anyway but I want to make a point). In the "South," if someone asked the question, "What is your religion?"They are asking, "What is your church, are you saved," (Christian idea). What got me to thinking about it was an encounter recently with my acupuncturist. She is the cutest little Asian type. I love her. As she is filling me with needles, she said, 

"Do you have a religion?" 

"I am a Christian." 

"Oh,  (genuinely surprised) 

And, yourself? Mostly Buddhist but more spiritual."  AIN'T LIFE INTERESTING
