[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we're all in agreement then?  It's more socially acceptable these days to say you are "spiritual"?   I like to say I'm a "seeker."  That seems to satisfy everyone, and they usually don't try to pin me down on what I mean by that. :) [/quote]

The discussion here has covered a lot of ground, but it hasn’t addressed the “social acceptability” of various words. So no, you can’t draw broad conclusions about things we haven’t discussed.

Also, I don’t agree with your premise. You’re coming at this as an atheist, and from [b]a subset of atheists who think the words “religion” and “religious” are bad[/b]. Religious people obviously think differently and most probably wouldn’t agree with you that being “religious” is “uncool” (to borrow from your posts on another thread). [/quote]

Who said that? I've never heard anyone say the words “religion” and “religious” are bad.[/quote]

[b]You know “bad” was just shorthand for “uncool” or “socially unacceptable,” don’t play coy[/b].[/quote]

Being spiritual is seen more and more as being more socially acceptable. Just read this thread.  Unless you live in the Bible belt or somewhere like that.[/quote]

Thank you for your thoughts. I’ve read this thread, and I’ve read the previous thread, and many people here and on the previous thread, as well as the dictionary, disagree with you. Your conclusions are coming from your anti-religion bias, and they’re not representative of anything but your opinions. [/quote]
