Hello Thinker...replied yesterday...but for some reason, some error 403 or whatever reply came from the exfam-serverside...don't know the reasons yet.
To make it short...cause I have no time writing only for the electronic-trash-bin:Susie made declarations on journeys which for me fit 1 to 1 with atheism.You can be a black, a negro, a coloured person, without wanting to admit to it
(Michael Jackson??) You can be a Nazi while on the run, in hiding & in denial, just to save once neck. May be you have far better analogies...but the conclusion is the same: we should have the courage for a shoe/ a label if it fits.
May be Susie amounts to a sceptic as far as theism is concerned...but that is rather an agnostic.
So I am not sure, where I am splitting hairs??
the spiritual has to do also...initially may be foremost??...with the internal world....religion
may be more so with the interaction with the external.
For an extreme sceptic the external things could be all delusions...so the journey forum would be about delusions, were we all sceptics.The same goes for an extreme materialist.So in that sense, it pays to know to which "section/school" of thinking one belongs to...MG made a comment which I cannot fathom on the journey-board: is there no supernatural level in life for him?All explainable?
