Spirituality Versus Religion
There is a popular (and arrogant idea) that there exists a distinction between two different modes of relating with the divine or the sacred: religion and spirituality.

The Egyptian Discovery That Terrified Scientists
Years ago, a gruesome discovery was made in Egypt that startled scientists. 16 human hands, all right hands, carefully buried in four eerie pits. These hands were abnormally large, making them look less human at first, but they were indeed human hands. Curiously, no left hands were found. This discovery points to an ancient dark ritual, as depicted in old Egyptian art and tales. It was believed that warriors would present the right hand of their defeated adversaries as proof of victory in exchange for gold. The Egyptians believed in the afterlife, so cutting off someone's hand was thought to cut off their power forever, ensuring a complete and eternal defeat for their enemies. This practice is thought to have occurred during battles between the Egyptians and the Hyksos, who lived in what was once known as Canaan.
