Appeals to authority now? Come on Rabbit, you can do better than that.
After watching the video, something did dawn on me. If we DON'T use the word spirituality we fail to point at the same experiences so whatever word we do choose would have to point at those experiences while maintaining a seperation from false ideas about dualism or connection to some god concept. I still say spirituality is not the right word to use even though I am disagreeing with Carl Sagan and our own venerable Purple Rabbit. See, I can polish apples if you appeal to authority.

PS would you spiritual on the birth of your first child? I would rejoice in that event, or lament if it was with some tart I didn't ever want to see again.
