most religious traditions function much like your closing statement. for the desire of added meaning, or to pay into our righteousness, we superimpose the hand of god on whatsoever goes on in our lives. the bible, among many religious texts, doesn't fail to capture the cruelty of earth and man. i guess that's where i fail to follow your argument that cruelty negates god.life's tough, so there's nothing positive about it? nothing spiritual, gregg? i dont follow.
Humans being animals explains many of the abhorrent behavior of humans, as humans in general behave like animals in many situations. WE still possess many traits seen in the animal world. A loving god creating everything doesn't explain all the shit in the world and the struggle of life in general, regardless of which species we are speaking of. They usually just make up bullshit excuses to give their god a free pass on all the crap and the basic way life is set up, one organism needed to kill another in order to survive.
absolutely no evidence of anything spiritual, so I make no comment on that. What some people claim to be spiritual events are nothing more than normal physiological events that they put meaning into it to be what they want, and they want to be god experience or what not
clearly you've blown the boundaries of what people see god as to fit a definitive equation which satisfies you. how many times have creationists claimed that evolution theory is more than it claims to be in an effort to debunk its basis? i would say that conclusions like your own only lend to that, for what that's worth.
