Re: Any neopagans here?

Yeah, no. That definition of spiritual vs. physical belief is one that only exists inside your head and not reality. You either believe in god(s), or you don't. There's none of this oh, I don't believe PHYSICALLY, but SPIRITUALLY I totally do blah blah blah.

This is why I roll my eyes when people say they're "spiritual". They usually make define that word so vaguely or inaccurately that it loses all meaning. What it basically means is that you don't like any of the religions that already exist, so you're making up your own. Conveniently, it doesn't have to include anything you don't like, so you can feel like you're accomplishing something profound while exerting minimal effort.

Hi again, Stella.

Guess what. You don't get to define spirituality or religion for anyone. It's cute of you to presume that you MUST BELIEVE GOD IS A REAL DUDE IN THE SKY and you can't spiritually believe in him (which I do, I believe God is love, and is an idea, not an entity).

OF COURSE people should be able to make up their own idea! Why the hell should people follow tenants of any religion they don't like? If I call myself a Christian, I don't believe being gay is bad and I think women are equal in all ways to men. So damn well I'm not going to follow them, and if I "make up my own religion", why the fuck do you care? That's between me, my soul, and God - you're not invited.

For all intents and purposes, it's apologists and interfaith ecumenical folks who expanded the definition of "spirituality" to "everything but explicit atheism." Of course these are also the sort of people who advance the perennialist claim that everything is really compatible with Christian theology under the surface, even if it's explicitly atheist or agnostic.
