the crowd goes wild!!!!!Well, you won't be with me because I think religion has been an enormous positive for humans. I don't blame religion for bad things. People do bad things, not institutions.
No, I'm saying that until you can tell me what spirituality is then it's just a word. It means whatever you want it to mean and it conveys no information at all.
Many religions have been enormously positive, but religions are not the topic. They are evidence of human spirituality. You can pretend to be stupid and not understand what is meant by "spiritual" all day long, I can't stop you. I've defined it as whatever "thing" humans feel they are connecting to, that is greater than self, and which Dorito admits is inherent in humans, and all animals, for that matter. Now that I have defined the word for you, maybe you can show me some evidence that humans don't have it. Because all the evidence I see, from the very first civilizations we know of, until this very day, show that humans have always had a very strong and intrinsic spiritual connection to SOMETHING! This is called SPIRITUALITY! It is real, it does exist.
The question then becomes, is spirituality legitimate, do people actually make some kind of real connection? ...and again, the evidence suggests they do. You're not presenting any evidence to the contrary, you're just repeating your cries for some kind of physical evidence to "prove" a spiritual nature, and that is plain old illogical, if it could provide you with physical evidence, it would not be spiritual. Physical evidence is great and wonderful, it provides us with a lot of understanding in our material universe, but it pertains to our five senses, and spiritual nature is not really measurable by those.
As usual Boss is pulling his "spiritual connection" out of his rear end. It is all just a jumbo-jumbo, snake-oil, smoke-and-mirrors act to pretend that the trance state which exists in mammals (including animals) is some kind to "evidence" for the "existence" of his "creator". Furthermore it won't make the slightest difference asking him to provide anything substantive because he relies upon his superstitious "evidence" and accuses you of being wrong when you point out that it doesn't actually exist.
Having become a laughing stock in his original thread Boss is looking to hijack other threads in the vain hope of finding "converts" to his lost cause. Instead there will just be an even greater number of people laughing at his absurd "spiritual evidence".
