"I'm spiritual but not religious." Help me out y'all. What does this mean?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I guess.

What are you getting at?

Then your god isn't "supernatural"

I too have experienced and seen far too much for anyone to tell me God isn't real. You have the foundation at least.

Take baby steps and start now. If you don't, you never will. If your life really revolves around selling people coke and having sex with cute bytches, that's a good place to start.

God's not real though.

 

[Poitier]

God is real. He isn't incorporeal, though. And he isn't something other than you. God = a person with agency over their reality. That's all.

Good that means that I'm not religious.

You are religious.

 

[Blackout]

You are religious.

No supernatural. No spiritual.

And your saying I'm religious?

Look up the word on the dictionary, educate yourself and then come back to me.

Does your god exist?

When I used to say I'm spiritual, it meant, I believed in god, felt I had a personal relationship with him but didn't fukk with religion at all.

Now, I'm just agnostic.

If you god interacts with the world, we can measure that interaction. Correct?

You see this is why I don't argue with religious people about the veracity of their beliefs.

Superficially this is a perfectly valid empirically sound statement, but then you consider the fact that we still have no idea how big the universe is or whether or not it is infinite or whether or not the laws that govern the known universe are themselves universal and ultimately most religious folk are happy for their god to exist in the unknown.This is why god of the gaps fails to be a useful argument in the face of faith.

There are always going to be gaps and there are always going to be people that choose to fill those gaps with 'the supernatural', the rabbit hole of scientific enquiry never bottoms out and even as it encroaches on territory once held by faith and religion, because the logic of faith is circular and has a powerful confirmation bias it never completely wins out..

Human beings are capable of and often defer to rational modes of thinking but are by no means inherently rational. Until you understand this you'll keep banging your head against that same brick wall.

Napoleon is a smart dude but he feels the need to flaunt it and put down others to feel superior.

Humans are emotional creatures. Never rational.

Logics crowning achievement so far has been Post Modernism. It's as circular as faith. Life itself is circular.

Reminds me of this book. Which I recommend everyone should read.

 

[Versa]

God's not real though.

Lol.


Ya gotta acknowledge the consistency at least. Your passion for God, Drake, J.Cole and gay people never wavers. I think I'm forgetting something...was it Kendrick Lamar too?

 

[Blackout]

I don't know. It's called belief for a reason.

It could and it could not.
