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

[Flay Mayweather]

What you believe doesn't matter if you can't prove it.

You can believe in midichlorians and big foot.

I could not care less.

...but don't expect me to defend the flaws in your arguments for you...especially when you substitute what you claim to believe instead of just saying "I don't know"

Yet you CLAIM TO BELIEVE IT...and when pressed, you're forced to admit that you really don't have any means of even supporting that argument.



Purpose? What do you mean "purpose?"

And if I can't explain where everything came from, DOES THAT MEAN it was a deity?

The answer to things you don't know is: "I don't know"...not "well i believe XYZ..."

Thats the problem.

You all are clearly turned off from the bullshyt of religion for the most part since it doesn't make any sense, but you can't get over the flaws in believing things you can't even support.

You want this to be true.

Thats nice.

Except it doesn't mean that its REMOTELY true.

What do you believe in?

 

[Chris.B]

You're an idiot.

Not everyone who runs from christianity (funny enough that there are 30,000+ demoninations of christianity ) does so because they're 'scared of the truth"

You can't fathom that there MIGHT be a flaw in your stance.

anytime you hear a woman claim spirituality over religion...chances are she has a few b*stard kids walking with her.
For her to call herself religious will be an indictment of her life...so she goes around and calls herself spiritual....

Nice anecdote.

Whats that got to do with someone like me?

I'm not "running from the truth"

I know more about religion THAN YOU DO...and yet I'm not religious.

So whats your excuse?

I don't care about religion. Why should I ease up on it?

Its not my responsibility to defend religion if its followers can't do it themselves.

Go find something else to defend. No one is stopping you.

If that is the case, then why do you feel to need to come in religious threads to address your bitter feelings about religion knowing damn well that you are not going to change anybody mind ?

 

[Flay Mayweather]

What do you mean?

What are the things that you acknowledged as being 100% true. If there is something, can you prove it to me without me having to believe in you or put my faith in what you're saying. I want to be able with your facts, use it, and test whatever you acknowledged as being 100% true for myself and have the same results you acquired.

I love how ya'll wanna talk about "not changing minds" but you act like thats my goal.

I don't give a damn how you feel about religion. I'm saying my piece.

Take it or leave it.

1. I don't accept most things as 100% being true. I can only "prove" things up to a certain point.

2. There are things I have a preference for such as a society I want to live in etc. ...but whats that got to do with whether or not a deity exists and cares if I have premarital sex?

 

[Uncle Kingpin]

It's a false comparison which makes it an invalid statement. Religion is an organization, spirituality is a personal construct and not an actual "thing". Most of the times what they really mean is i'm not a member of any religous organization but i borrow elements from them to create my own religion. Basically saying they want to make God in their image, as opposed to the other way around.

 

[the cac mamba]

its a copout, plain and simple

ppl who are 'spiritual' can at least admit that organized religions are bullshyt. but they feel lost without the idea of a magical, invisible father figure. not to mention that they only have the concept of a god in the first place, because of religion.

shyt is

 

[DreadHead P]

it means I believe there is a high power and a relationship between me and that higher power, but I don't but into religion, religion and spirituality are not one in the same

If you didn't give a damn, you wouldn't waste your time posting these threads that have religious discussion. You post to humiliate religious people while you have your nose up in the air and embracing yourself like if you are the sole logical guy in the Coli while you at it you try sway people beliefs.

It doesn't make sense that you sound like you get irritated by religious ideologies, and then have the nerve to waste your time going and back for with the believers.

1. What can you prove breh

2. I'm not referring to a deity, I'm asking you can you prove something to me that I can test for myself with the same results.

For an example, you can say that if you drop an apple from your hands it will drop and whatever ground you are standing on. You would reply gravity.

What is gravity then, why does gravity exist, and how do you know what gravity is. Can you prove to me that gravity is existent.

I can't see it, feel it, taste it, smell it, or hear it.

How will you be able to do that?

 

[flea]

just be yourself, believe or not to believe doesnt make you a good person.

I hate this stigma of all believers of god are good people.

In 2013 it's the opposite
