That sounds a bit like escapism to me, Neil. Doesn't seem to match Sartre's view in his book "Nausea". Think I'll stick to my "crutch" rather than concede to being a cosmic accident...Greg Hiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003464331213372543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-1134932539251838222005-12-18T19:02:00.000+00:002005-12-18T19:02:00.000+00:00B4L, My criticism of Blimpish was partly in jest. ...B4L, My criticism of Blimpish was partly in jest. He is a bit of a jerk though, sorry. I have to say that. It's no justification for retaliating but he has called me everything under the sun on here.<BR/><BR/>I did actually mean 'pre-historic'. Religion has long passed it's usefulness, unfortunately evolution can take a long time to catch up.<BR/><BR/>I'm defining spirituality as a sort of peacefulness and confidence, not the actual spirituality of the supernatural. I should have made that more clear.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-1134926516637616652005-12-18T17:21:00.000+00:002005-12-18T17:21:00.000+00:00Neil, you've got to show a bit more respect for yo...Neil, you've got to show a bit more respect for your fellow bloggers than to say "...had the misfortune to read" and then link to the top of their blog as if none of their views are of any value.<BR/><BR/><I>prehistoric</I><BR/><BR/>Pre-Enlightenment?<BR/><BR/><I>Science and rationalism provide all the spiritual comfort...</I><BR/><BR/>You're comparing apples and oranges and, just as with your "why can't atheists go to heaven?" point, you're conceding the need for a spiritual realm: spiritual comfort, something which rationality cannot, by definition, provide. If you're not allowing for 'God', that only leaves non-theistic spirituality, and I'm not sure I care much for that either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376621599111523024noreply@blogger.com
