And you know a small part of me believes that karma bullshit so even I'm spiritual.Yup. If it ain't Jesus it's atheist. But notice how you consider yourself one of them even tHough they disagree? Reminds me of gays who say they are Christians.You do know there are a lot of atheists that don't drink do drugs aren't promiscuous or wicked, right?
You weren't an atheist you were a wicked theist. Guilt got you.
I personally think you can be an atheist and also be spiritual. To me, "atheist" simply means "not theist" or "not religious". My very religious sister calls me her atheist brother. I don't consider myself an atheist because I do believe in a higher power... I'll even refer to that power as "God" sometimes.
You tell that sister in law her religion is holding us back. You tell her it's how they control us. Tell her sealybobo said so
I'm reminded of the Bob Dylan song... Serve Somebody... you can be a sinner or you can be a saint but you gotta serve somebody!
Imagine when paleo or mono or cro Magnum man first tapped into spirituality. I'm sure everything good was a gift and every bad thing a punishment.
I don't think any of the modern religions will be around 1000 years from now. We're getting too smart too fast. But in 1000 years people will still be spiritual.
