Yes you are right, that was a slip. I just think however it is manifest enough to Atheists that we have a soul, but, they've gone on this notion of intellectual superior high ground to just doubt anything spiritual or metaphysical. I do believe however they do pretend to not understand what spiritual or soul is, yes, they don't believe in it, but they very well understand what it is.
I hope our lovely new Catholic lady doesn't resent the many offshoot discussions that arise here in the best of threads.
Mystic, as you may remember, I do attach meaning to the concept of soul, albeit a psychological meaning. It is a concept I think is worth retaining, properly understood. In the same vein one can attach meaning to "gods" and what is "spiritual". But we can never expect another to value what we do in the way that we do. No one needs to justify finding these terms not useful. If you really want to discuss them on your terms, you might want to start a thread to see who will play.
Then again, perhaps you really wanted to address your question to our new member. (Of course, whether she finds it one she wishes to engage is entirely up to her.)
