Spirituality

If you wanted to lend me "The God Delusion" then fair enough, I'd read it. I'd be sticking post-it notes for myself on the pages, saying how angry this stuff makes me and how spiritually bankrupt such a position is. I'd probably feel I was wasting my time with such material.
​
LindaLou, if it is enlightenment you’re looking for you’ve come to the wrong place.
No science forum or science discipline is going to give you that, no, not even evolutianity. You have to look beyond science for that. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
​
Ps. Don't waste your post-it notes...or your time.

When you look beyond science, do you prefer crystal balls, mediums or tarot cards?
​
I thought them things were for the atheists.
​
Why does Richard Dawkins sing Christmas Carols?
Because he’s a closet Right Wing Christian. And he’s got you all sucked in. The atheism thing is only to make money and fame.

Enlightenment

​
How, incidentally, do you look beyond science for enlightenment?
​
First of all you have to admit to yourself that the ability of the human mind to perceive is limited. (To five senses and four dimensions).
​
Then (this is the hard bit for you) you have to admit that it’s methods of discernment are limited.
​
Then you’ve got a start.
