Just asserting there are people who place a positive value on faith over evidence. Some go for new age stuff, some for quack medicine, etc. |
I see more and more people (especially women) saying that they are "spiritual, not religious" or are "spiritual but not part of organized religion", in personal ads. Earlier today I saw one who said she is christian, attends church, but is "more spiritual than religious".
What cracks me up are the ones who say they're spiritual, christian, attend church, are tattooed, pierced, kinky, and like death metal, and want a badboy "Master" or "Dom" or "Daddy" with lots of tattoos and piercings who will get high and drunk with them and spank them. |
The funniest one that I saw was a Christian Humanist.
Oxymoron |
It seems that most peoples' "spiritual", "religious", or "worldview" belief systems are like a homemade food recipe. A cup of this, a spoonful of that, two of this, one of that, a dash of this, a sprinkle of that, etc., and often the recipe/ingredients for their beliefs conflict, and are subject to change for no apparent reason.
Even people who attend the same church often disagree on the details of their beliefs, and a lot of people who are "spiritual" or "religious" also go for other strange stuff, like what midwifetoad mentioned, and ghosts, Bigfoot, aliens living amongst or replacing humans, alien abductions, ancient alien visitors, crystal healing, and who knows what else.
Speaking of aliens and ghosts, joe g comes to mind. I wonder if the aliens found any CSI when they 'probed' him?
