Curious: how do you define spiritual?

I define spiritual in somewhat of the Native American sense, which is being in touch with the intangible like your emotions and your psyche. Therefore, someone does not need religion to be spiritual and being religious does not necessarily entail being spiritual. Most people define spiritual as somehow being synonymous with religion, so when most people say they are spiritual, they mean religious. As for the religious person themselves I can't comment on their rationality as I don't know them, but their beliefs definitely appear irrational to me. If being more well rounded means not basing my life on mythical fairy tales, then yes, I am.

I too enjoy studying Native American culture, as they speak much about the sprit amoug the truth warriors as my famliy tree is part native. Much of Religion is ancient spirituality and I do not find very few that impress me and make much sense for living for today. Being an artist, I find mystical metaphors and fairy tale make sense and give great enjoyment. Books Like Cat and the Hat or Wizard of Oz has more healthy meaning to me rather than the Bible. Snnoreeee zzzzzz
There are 1000s of good books out there too
No proof of that
Calling people ignorance right off the bat, is that a healthy attitude for your personal growth or for our society growth?
