[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those I know who describe themselves as spiritual are pretty intellectually shallow and hollow.  Uninteresting.  Their grasp of the divine is minimal and kind of all over the map, ironically soulless.  It’s obvious they are just making stuff up.  Same could be said though for a few who describe themselves as religious, too.[/quote]

That’s my sense, too. Spiritual to some means crystals or indigo children, and so on. If some of you describe yourselves as “spiritual” and think this is wrong, I’d love to hear about it. For example, do you distinguish between believing in a god or reincarnation, but not going to church/synagogue/mosque? Do you actively pray or worship in some other way, or read scripture or something irk on understanding your spirituality, or is it a more general sense?[/quote]

Most urban, educated people are more likely to describe themselves as "spiritual." This seems much more socially acceptable these days.  I mean, you wouldn't want to be confused with being a southern baptist or something like that.   Down in the Bible belt around Lynchburg or Tennesseeit might be different of course. [/quote]
