Does that mean I lack 'spirituality'?  Maybe.  But I can't say that I actually care all that much for 'spirituality' which is mostly pie in the sky nonsense when it isn't an open con-job.

The question really should be why are you here.  I've yet to see any added value from your presence.  Though I have been amused by your antics.  But then again this forum is cheaper than cable and the actors typically follow better scripts than anything coming out of Hollyweird.

Maybe not. You may be spiritually connected. I'd agree and say that it's best to stay away from those who promote their own brand of spirituality.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure that I'm spiritual at all.  I don't believe in any sort of woo-woo. Not new age not gurus, not ghosts/haints etc. My experience with black churches has basically destroyed any desire to be a Christian.  I find the teachings of Islam to be repugnant.  I'm not remotely interested in the third Abrahamic Faith.  I find the teachings of the Nation of Islam to be flat out bizarre (and no they are not a branch of Islam like Eric-the-ignoramus will claim, Islam teaches that Muhammad was the final prophet of god where as the NOI teaches that Elijah Muhammad is, and also that white people were created by a mystical black scientist named Yakub in Mecca some six or seven thousand years ago--it is almost in UFO cult territory).

I tend toward a materialistic world view--IE viewing matter as existing independently of human perception and driving humans and human perception rather than the reverse (Idealism).

In short I've seen very little evidence for any of the proposed religions man has come up with, even though I am open to the possibility, or more accurately probability of extra-terrestrial life but even there I'm looking for bacteria and pond scum not Mr. Spock.
