Spirituality and atheism

[bennyboy]

As for the "no language" idea, that's fine. But in order to communicate that idea, you used a bunch of pixellated shapes that we call. . . what's that word, again?

You don't deal very well with language. I never said no language. i said language is good for communicating something to somebody.

I think I see now why you require an imprecise word like spirituality. You really don't have a clue.

Oooh, insulting. One, two, three, four, I declare a meme war!

Language is good for communicating something to somebody. But many things, especially feelings or other subjective experiences, cannot be clearly communicated using literal language. Therefore, we resort to symbolism, metaphor, and words whose meaning cannot be limited consisely enough to get them "just right" in a dictionary.

I've even given a list of such words, which are used with meaning all the time, and which you have deliberately excluded from your reply. Go ahead, give precise definitions which fully embody them, or try these ones: wisdom, intelligence, beauty, morality. Then add to that list, "spirituality."
