Thoughts on Buddhism

[RW_9]

So this idea that we are spiritual beings participating in some sort of holographic amusement park, is not all that far fetched.

The question still remains: why are you so insistent on referring to any of this as "spiritual?" There is absolutely no reason to do so. If scientists discover incredible things, there is still no reason to attach supernatural terminology to it. Why must you cling on to superstition instead of just using scientific terms for new discoveries and theories?

If something is discovered and you specifically use spiritual terms to describe it instead of scientific terms, you are intentionally mystifying it for no good reason beyond superstition for superstitions sake - as you said, you find the idea of there being more to this existence appealing. That is the only reason someone would desperately hold on to delusions of the supernatural, and it can do nothing but water down rational discussion.
