[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many non-believers are confusing a "religious" God with spirituality.  The two are different.[/quote]

Wrong.  They're both metaphysical phenomena that have no support from any kind of evidence.  They require "faith"--the willing suspension of disbelief.  They're equally likely.  Or unlikely as the case may be.[/quote]

Think what you will, but spirituality is not about guidelines taken from some book.  It's inclusive.  They are different.  Spirituality is a connection among people that breaks through barriers.  If you deny this basic component of our nature, then you can't really call yourself a human.

If you define "spirituality" as "a connection among people that breaks through barriers" then you're essentially defining the metaphysical component out of existence.  So sure, it's a bit like answering the anti-theists by saying "God is love".  Obviously people make emotional and social connections with one another.  Count me in;  I'm spiritual too.[/quote]

Just so long as you don't--after sneaking under the rope--then go on to make all sorts of meta-physical claims.  That's the kind of game of whack-a-mole the theists play all the time.

"God is love.  That's all!"

"Ok, sounds good.  Obviously there's love."

"And when He spoke to..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!  What do you mean 'He'?  I thought he was 'love'?"

"Well, we already agreed we all believe in God, so...MOVING ON..." [/quote]
