Spirituality and atheism

[Whateverist]

Since you seem to be intent on having an argument with yourself I'll leave you to it. The person you think you are arguing with is someone uninterested in consciousness, who is against all language use and makes no distinction between rationality and emotion/feelings. You've got the wrong guy but you are too poor a reader to know better.

But you go ahead and argue for the specialness of spirituality being something ineffable. I'll just go on thinking you are a Don Quixote tilting at windmills you don't see clearly. But that doesn't mean I don't think there is more to consciousness than rationality. Most people here probably think I'm a little too extreme in that regard.

Good luck.



Oh, and look up your own damned words. No more pearls for you.

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

I'm too lazy to engage you in memes but if it is a smily face-off you're after .. it's on!

First of all, a confession. When I was younger I too was interested in the spiritual. Like you, , I was a nutcase. I don't know why the young and the gullible gravitate to weird shit. But it isn't just you and it was my own stupidity which really pisses me off now, not yours. You seem bright enough.

Now I could go on all day telling you what the matter is with your position .. .. but really what would that accomplish.

It isn't really your fault that you listen so well. You're young (I assume) while I'm old and cranky . So I'm going to wave the white flag of peace now.
