@JodyLee Our vibrating mass of molecules that we call our bodies, our subconscious and conscious minds, the variety of frequencies we experience….that’s spiritual, the essence of living to me. On a small scale.

The first part – Our vibrating mass of molecules that we call our bodies….that’s spiritual…

What do you mean by “spirit” of the law? OK, my bad. 🙂

Nay, we can do it offline if you want.

Except according to 1Cor 6:19 your body is not your own even if your body is more important than your clothes in Matthew 6:25.

Want a Bible face-off??? 🙂

There is only “Now“.

I only exist in the present moment (of my reality). I do not see my existence as something spiritual. I see it as natural and at this present moment I feel connected to the natural world. There is no other place I can exist in.

connection to something bigger…

What is this “bigger than ourselves” thing that you can connect to?

Fine if you think that but I do not believe in go…[Read more]

Probably. I don’t think they would realize it. I think that theists and atheists Just describe the world through completely different lenses.

The next time theists stop me on the street in order to save my soul they will actually be concerned for the flow of electricity that neurotransmitters use to generate new synapses in my mind? I will be sure to ask them if my lack of belief in their god will affect t…
