The original thread is gone. That would be my bad.Here's what happened, told in my usual verbose parenthetical style. If you just want to get on with it, skip past the italics.I originally registered…Continue

Jesus existed: As a small shit smear on John the Baptist's Underoos™ It's revealed truth. Don't argue with me, Heathens

We do need a replacement for the term spirituality that doesn't even suggest the supernatural. The best I can come up with is romance. We allow our emotions, our intuitive aspects, to run free when we're in a romantic mode. Something may…

1. Does the term "spiritual" necessarily involve the supernatural? I claim it does and people who use it in any other way are just too lazy to use a dictionary. Is using the term for the non-supernatural just sloppy language? Is using it…

I was responding to the one who gave a definition; that would be why I responded with something about dictionaries. [Note to self: Explain everything all the time, don't assume knowledge of verbal interactions.]

Oh, I see, you were responding to Sacha? definition of spiritualism. I apologize. In which case you are just humorless one-step clown.

misunderstanding - Glenn was referring to the loon, but the only reason I knew that is that I know Glenn. Otherwise I would have thought the same as Mykeru. Aren't you glad you asked me?

Given that I was not replying to your comment [you can follow the arrows on the left side if you are having trouble keeping up], I'll take your comment as a NoMan, not even worthy of a Strawman.

Really? Spiritual Main Entry: 1spir·i·tu·al Pronunciation: \ˈspir-i-chə-wəl, -i-chəl, -ich-wəl\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French & Late Latin; Anglo-French espirital, spiritual, from Late…

Felch's Laws and the No NonsenseA³ brand of atheism 1. "Atheist" and "stupid" are not mutually exclusive 2. Conspiracy = religion - god 3. You have no right to deride theism if you believe in unsubstantiated gibberish…

Better call Webster's and Merriam. I don't think their definitions match yours; they might appreciate the correction.

Mykeru replied to Mykeru's discussion 'Religion vs. Spirituality (Redux)'

Got it. I still find the number of supposed rational people who redefine "spiritual" to remove the supernatural element to be appalling. Find a better word, people.

Mykeru replied to Jennifer W's discussion 'Do you believe Jesus existed?'

Thing is, Jesus didn't found anything, which also speaks against his historicity. What we know as Christianity is derived from the oral traditions of several sects and later codified years, generations even, after the events. What we mostly…

Buh bye.

Incidentally, had you checked the links you might have seen this: That's the "James Ossuary". When the police raided the forger's home, it was found stashed in a filthy bathroom. The ossuary an important bit of evidence for…

Mykeru replied to Jennifer W's discussion 'Do you believe Jesus existed?'

Wait a minute, you were expecting me to provide proof? For my belief as to whether or not Jesus existed? I'm sorry. I thought what you wrote was intended to be some form of evidence. I apologize for not recognizing "shits and…

Mykeru replied to Jennifer W's discussion 'Do you believe Jesus existed?'

I'm sorry if I don't deal with your full post. I assume that when someone posts a laundry list of evidences for anything, they lead with their best evidence and if the first couple items aren't persuasive, it's a waste of time to…
