@HufflepunkNya Interesting. I find it compelling that these "scientific and high minded" people cannot come up with better terms that would support There are assertions instead of someone else's. If you don't believe in spirit then you should not use spiritual describe anything. My thoghts.
-
@waynepoint It is confusing, though. Certain people use the terms 'spiritual', 'soul', 'religious', 'God' and 'heaven/hell' in ways that differ from the common or original meaning. Like Einstein, when he says 'god does not play dice', though he denied belief in a personal god. They are profound words, and we like to resort to them for profound things, even if it's a bit off the mark.
-
@waynepoint A language problem, I think. From what I've gathered from Sam Harris's speaking, and indeed a good few other like-minded individuals, the term 'spiritual' is used in a more natural way than to refer to a soul that is apart from us or a supernatural thing. It's the only word we seem to have to apply to those moments when you're in a heightened state of euphoria, peace or perhaps terror. A product of our natural components, that Sam wants to pay attention to rather than dismiss.

@MrThor4u What a witty response! You owned him! Wow! I thought he was an incredibly intelligent man who makes fact-based, fascinating arguments, but you've totally changed my mind! What a doofus Sam Harris, famous author, lecturer, and PhD neuroscientist, is! His achievements must indeed pale before the onslaught of your own accomplishments!
