Reply To: Spiritual atheist.

I consider myself a spiritual atheist, because I’m spiritual and an atheist. I’m a lot of other things as well.

I think that the word “spiritual” isn’t an exclusively religious word, and even though it happens to have the word “spirit” in it, it’s OK to appropriate it for atheist purposes, if we put the word “atheist” in front of it to show the variety of spirituality we are talking about.

@Winter Lily – if you want to know about Wiccans, people who do spells and rituals to try and change the world, etc, why don’t you investigate it? Try getting into it and see if you achieve any results that are better than chance. Personally I’ve found that behaving bravely and unselfishly is all that’s necessary to change the world, and to bring extra good luck.

@Davis was running an experiment to see what happens if you disrespect Tarot cards. I said it would bring calamitous bad luck, he said he would try it. I don’t know what’s happened about that, he hasn’t been around for a while…
