Every person is religious

RE: Every person is religious
I suspect than many have a "religious impulse" (not sure what that even means) but not all
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

I'm definitely an atheist but sometimes I will say things like, "Oh God, yes! Oh, Jesus, I'm almost there!"

I spent all my life making woman scream that multiple multiple times. 

A woman’s multi o is my religion


Praise jubusgod for inventing women’s orgasms. 

Can I get an amen?

It doesn't matter if God is real or not. Living as if God is real is the only way.

What does it mean to live as if God is real?

And why is it the only way?

At it's skinniest form - the well-observed tendency to organize our groups from paleolithic family units all the way up to modern societies around ideas about what it means to live a good life, what you cannot do and what you cannot fail to do. That we as a species tend to have an idea of the way the world is, and the way it should be.  The way we would make it, if we could.  

We're fucking fantasists - all of us..and I say this in appreciation not criticism, lol.  Nutters mean something else, obviously. Though I do think Ahri's stumbled into a moment of hidden profundity up there.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Without knowing what you mean by religious and spiritual, it's hard to make heads or tails of this.

It's gibberish. Believing you've trapped a ghost in your meat cage isn't a religious claim, it's a superstitious one.
