This is detrimental to humans. Which is why all of the major religions belong in the same garbage pile for pretty much the same reasons.
All you've done here is demonstrate a gross ignorance of my spiritual philosophies.
For you to even claim that they are incompatible with science is nothing more than your own delusions.
There is nothing in my spiritual philosophies that conflicts with known science.
As as matter of fact, if any part of my spiritual philosophy could be shown to be in conflict with scientific knowledge, I would toss out that part of my spiritual philosophy.
As it stands right now, I have no reason to do so.
Your totally unwarranted assumption that any possible spiritual philosophy must be in direct conflict with known science is your own personal delusion that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with reality.
The mere fact that you spread such lies so passionately only goes to show that you are the one who is dire desperation to renounce any imaginable spiritual essence to reality.
It seriously makes me wonder if perhaps you had committed some horrific offense to humanity that you feel is so unforgivable that your only prayer for salvation would be a purely secular existence. Because it sure appears that even the slightest mention that someone has an open-mind to the possibility of a spiritual essence to reality sends you into extreme denial that any such thing could ever possible be remotely plausible.
I don't think I've ever met anyone yet who has displayed such a terrified reaction to being open-minded about a spiritual essence to reality as you apparently are.
I've never seen anyone take such a closed-minded approach to it. Not merely just for themselves, but to so passionately demand that everyone else must also be equally closed-minded is just beyond surreal.
Such a passionate reaction can only be driven by some sort of deeply emotional fear.
It's not even a remotely reasonable response to considering these things.
Thank God, there aren't too many people around that take your extreme approach to philosophical questions. Truly, you are every bit as bad as a Christian Fundamentalist Extremist. They demand that God exists, you demand with equal passion that no spiritual essence to reality can possibly exist in any possible imaginable way.
You're just at the extreme other end of the rainbow. And equally unjustified in your outrageous demands.
I guess it's inevitable that there will always be unrealistic extremists in everything, even in atheism.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
