Thoughts on Buddhism

[Abracadabra]

This still doesn't resolve the question of why you insist on using nonsensical spiritual terms? Even if a scientist had to invent terms for a theory, they are still using and inventing scientific terms and theories. It has nothing to do with the question of why you choose to use spiritual terms.

If you find the term "spirituality" so annoying, may I ask for a potential alternative term that would convey a similar idea?

Notice at the top of my post where it says "Religious Views: Gnostic Atheist Agnostic Spiritualist".

I'm using the term to simply to mean that I'm open to the possibility that at the truest level of reality we may indeed be some sort of immortal eternal conscious beings that are basically dreaming up this world, or participating it in some form.

To me, that's a "spiritual" idea. It doesn't need to be Zeus-like, or anything like that. Perhaps that's just your own personal take on the term. Maybe when you see the term "spirit" you think of ghosts and goblins. And you've made that sort of association with the term.

In fact, I'm sure you can find dictionary definitions that were written by authors who also view the term in that way.

Here's a definition that seems to convey my meaning of the term fairly:

spir·it·u·al/ˈspiriCHo͞oəl/
Adjective:
Of, relating to, or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.

So I accept that this "spirit" or "soul" or whatever you want to call it, is non-physical (at least in the sense of the physics of our spacetime universe)

That's the very type of concept that I'm considering.

So why not refer to it as "spiritual"

It sure seems to be the proper word to use as far as I can tell.

I'm definitely considering that the true essence of reality is being "non-physical" in terms of what we consider to be the physics of spacetime.

Absolutely.

So what's wrong with using a term that describes what I'm considering?
