Can't seem to let go

By what standard? It has no say in supernatural claims.

Would you use geography to solve a math problem? It's different methods to evaluate different claims.

Supernatural claims have a huge issue in distinguishing their validity. Since the claims are highly subjective, no assessment can be made in terms of their truth value.

Metaphysical naturalist. Look it up. Also spirituality as a psychological concept can be evaluated and observed within methodological naturalism. Sam Harris actually talks at length about this very thing at AAI 2007. It's on YouTube.

How is that adolescent theism?
