how straight-and-narrow are you spiritually?

every faith, whether christianity, islam, hinduism, judaism, shinto, taoism, wicca, or gnosticism, has the same goal: to reach the divine and rejoin them.

to do so, you must be on the straight-and-narrow path towards the divine. it doesnt have to be perfect of course, but it raises the question: how straight-and-narrow is YOUR path?
