I am wondering what this something that you believe there is, is.
Now I understand that you don't know that's why you just believe that there is "something" - but if it's just mysteries things that science or whatever is yet to discover, (like further bizzare seemingly surreal advancements of some kind, like in the field of Quantum Theory for example) - then what would constitute that as "spiritual" in your opinion?
How are you defining 'spiritual' what do you mean by it?
Once again, welcome!

Ah! Excellent question!
The key phrase in that is that there's something else out there outside of science <b>as we currently know it.</b>
At one time, how the seasons changed or how the stars lit up the night sky were outside of science as we knew it. Now we know more and have more advanced equipment to study it with.
Someday, we will probably be able to study what we can't now, provided we don't go ahead and finish off the human race before we get the chance.
I've stated that I <b>could</b> believe in something else out there that would fall under the catagory of supernatural. Things like spirits and ghosts and magic. No, I don't absolutly believe, but I don't absolutly disbelieve, either. Both are closed minded. Maybe you could call me a weak atheist? I dunno.
Anyway, even if I believed in that, the world is just too chaotic to believe in any all powerful God.
N-E-way, thanx for the welcome!

Not too bad, but alot colder than Oklahoma. At least I don't have to deal with some of the Jesus inspired nut-jobs we get in Oklahoma. Anyone here heard of Sally Kern? Her church was about two miles from where I lived.
The only significant problem I'm having is that the economy sucks here! In Oklahoma, I was a CNA and, unofficially, if you had a CNA card, you could walk into damn near any nursing home in the state and they would bend over backwards to get you started as their employee.
