Atheism is a lack of belief in the existence of a personal God. Alan Watts did not believe in a personal God."The difficulty for most of us in the modern world is that the old-fashioned idea of God has become incredible or implausible." -Alan Watts"The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity." -Alan Watts"The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe." -Alan Watts"But to me nothing - the negative, the empty - is exceedingly powerful." -Alan Watts

I like Allen Watts ideas. At least he has his own ideas. It sucks that every one is a slave to those 3 middle eastern religions. Jew , christians, Islam all of witch relay heavily from those ancient Eygptian Pagan sun God stuff. That little corner of the world has dominated religious thought for to long. It's about time someone thinks for themselves. Those Sand Nigger religions suck any way.

Oh you want to play dictionary games while ignoring the fact that the dictionary is based on usage of the language? Fine, have it your way.From Oxford Dictionary:spirit: a persons non-physical being, composed of their character and emotionsspiritual: relating to or affecting the human spirit as opposed to material or physical thingsPlease tell me what part of truth or justice (your words, not mine) is "physical". Thanks for playing. Try again.

I am not proving anything, I'm just stating a fact for you, heres the proof thoughPhilosophy: is the study of the nature of existence, knowledge, truth, beauty, justice, validity, mind, and language. As Anthony Quinton put it, it is "thinking about thinking."[1][2]Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and faith, a transcendent reality, or one or more deities.

Spare me your truisms. I'm only interested in what you can prove.

I will say it again for you, may be it will come across clearer.philosophy is not spirituality.................

1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. This is the first instance where god refers to himself, the god that punishes worship of multiple gods, who slaughters for worshipping idols, says "our" image, way before any talk of a trinity. I think I just debunked christianity!

CHRISTIANITY:The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh & telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree..yeah makes sense.

"if you trim away the fat and get to the meat of it you'll see what i mean."I did "trim away the fat"... nothing was left. God by any definition that would be a "god" is imaginary.

Lol! We ARE God, since he IS life, love and beauty :D Most people are so lost in ego, which is an illusion that clouds over the divine light within us. Ego will always lead us astray, so don't be it's slave. That's why I say "have faith in God", beacause he cannot be proven to exist my means of logic, only by experience :)
