I was hoping you's say yes. You said--and this what was said in its entirety and not taken out of context--:


Quote:I cry at a lot of things. Despite being Cyberman, I admit to having human feelings. If that's not spiritual, I would happily accede to an upgrade to my vocabulary algorithm.


Though the words “feeling” and “spiritual” are inseparably related, they do not mean the the same thing. This statement uses the word “spiritual to mean “feeling even though the words are not equivalent. It's like saying the keel of a ship is the ship itself. It's this kind of frivolous misuse of words that leads to so much confusion.

Rather than admit to misspeaking, what followed was a defense of the undefensible.

From Wikipedia.

Quote:Spirituality may refer to almost any kind of meaningful activity, personal growth, or blissful experience. Traditionally, spirituality refers to a process of re-formation of the personality but there is no precise definition of spirituality

Note the phrases that link it to feelings.
