If you are merely sponging off someone else's spirituality you are stealing.
"'From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.'" Matthew 11:12 (NRSV)
But in the end you cannot steal the Kingdom you have to gain it yourself.
And how do you gain the Kingdom of God?
"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8 (NRSV)
