Spiritual but not religious?

I come across this often in social networking sites. As an atheist / rational person i fail to understand the meaning of this terminology.

No offense but what is spiritual? Spiritual, the world indicates it probably has something to do with the spirit, right? Okay, so lets consider this "Spiritual" word as an adjective and look-up Merriam Webster’s. Here is what i got…

spir·i·tu·al   

Pronunciation: \?spir-i-ch?-w?l, -i-ch?l, -ich-w?l\

Function: adjective

Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French & Late Latin; Anglo-French espirital, spiritual, from Late Latin spiritualis, from Latin, of breathing, of wind, from spiritus

Date: 14th century

1: of, relating to, consisting of, or affecting the spirit : incorporeal <spiritual needs>
2 a: of or relating to sacred matters <spiritual songs> b: ecclesiastical rather than lay or temporal <spiritual authority> <lords spiritual>
3: concerned with religious values
4: related or joined in spirit <our spiritual home> <his spiritual heir>
5 a: of or relating to supernatural beings or phenomena b: of, relating to, or involving spiritualism : spiritualistic

So it looks like im quite right. Something that has to do with the Spirit. I so hate to do this because now we have to find out what the heck a SPIRIT is. So lets look back at Merriam Webster’s again. We will look at the first two since we will speak in context of what we are discussing here

spir·it

Pronunciation: \?spir-?t\

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French or Latin; Anglo-French, espirit, spirit, from Latin spiritus, literally, breath, from spirare to blow, breathe

Date: 13th century

1: an animating or vital principle held to give life to physical organisms
2: a supernatural being or essence: as acapitalized : holy spirit b: soul 2a c: an often malevolent being that is bodiless but can become visible ; specifically : ghost 2 d: a malevolent being that enters and possesses a human being

NOTE: If your definition of spiritual is like the Einstein’ian way of poetically calling nature as spirit then read no more. You have nothing to do with this blog. If your definition of spirit deals with your love for the biological process of evolution then your poetry is welcome, regardless of me agree’ing with it or not. We are not talking about poetic spiritual references, we are dealing with religion and supernatural claims. 

So the question is, who has seen a spirit? How can the spirit be contained or evidenced or  quantified or qualified to be a spirit? What does the spirit comprise of? What are the physical and chemical properties of the spirit? Is the spirit of a human being different from that of a cat’s? If so what are the biological differences between the spirit of a cat and a human being?

Unless and until i get completely honest, logically and scientifically acceptable answers i shall declare this:-

Those who make statements such as "Spiritual but not religious" are nothing but being pussies. Spiritual and Religious mean the same rubbish and there is no difference really, i mean if one of the interpretations can be Ghost, you sure can bet the term Ghost did not come from the study of the Quantum Theory.

There is no medical term that talks about rescuing the spirit. Doctors save lives. If the spirit is the most important thing that gives life to a body then the spirit is the life, life is not the real life that makes us a lively person. All we need to do is save the spirit so that we can transplant it to another body or perhaps repair a damaged body or perhaps even cryogenically freeze it so that we can re-introduce the spirit into it and give it life once the body is in working condition. How come there is no scientific research in this area if spirit was such an awesome thing?

Let me put it like this. When you believe in something and if you have the nerve you have to stand up for it. For example, i’m an atheist. I stand up for the belief that there’s nothing supernatural in this world. I will stand up for this fact unless and until someone proves me wrong by providing…

(a) scientific evidence
(b) testable means to prove the evidence
(c) peer review within a scientific community relevant to the discussion

So let me ask all the moderates here to stop being cowards. Please just declare you are indeed religious. Why hide behind the curtains of ambiguation to save yourselves from being mocked at for being plain stupid? You cannot even provide excuse stating you are deist because they do not believe in supernatural claims either. Certainly not spirit or souls. So for one last time can i request the real slim shady please stand up, stop being a mouse and act like a normal human being with a little bit of self respect and stand up for what you believe in, rather than hide behind the cover of moderate terminology to appear like you are smart and secular when you actually are not.

The only difference between religious and spiritual is this. Religious people don’t care if they are stupid. They know it already and they rely on faith, in other words some garble written 2000 years ago about how to cut your raped house maid into 12 pieces and distribute it across town to clean yourself off an evil spirit. They are here to hurt other people, they want to reject knowledge, understanding and prefer to live in the stone ages. You on the other hand, the ’spiritual person’ (or the moderate) realize you are stupid when you say you are religious. Why not be honest and accept the fact you don’t want that crutch called religion and for once in your life, you can think of your own and act with morals based on your logical and rational judgement. Come out of it, spi
ritual is just a better way of saying "I’m still religious and don’t want to come out of it but then please don’t call me stupid for being so because im just to scared to face reality and take it like a man."

In a way religious people at least have the nerve to accept who they are and stand up for their beliefs which spiritual people (or moderates) lack. So much for trying to be nice.

I love my balls, seriously!

I happen to subscribe to the National Geographic RSS feeds and today i came upon something awesome.

Before i tell you what it is, let me tell you a little bit of a story.

There once lived in the world where secular scientists and normal people who do not hallucinate about imaginary shit bags in the sky telling you when to put your crotch into what and where. These people came up with a discovery called stem cells. Without going into technical details much, in simple and crisp terminology stem cells help us understand the human cell structure and germ therapy better, thereby enabling us to find possible cures to aids, cancer and such likely other deadly disease that wreak havoc on human kind.

However there were a few sects of people called Catholics, Muslims, Hindus and Jews who believed in a imaginary entity whom no one has ever seen. He is called GOD. Now this god mother fucker who does not exist in the first place apparently put some shit called soul into an embryo when the man told the woman "honey, i was about to pull out but i cummed too fast, sorry!" and the woman had a swelling in her tummy three months later.

Now this embryo of course was voluntarily donated by nice minded and good hearted humans but then the imaginary "Soul" entity happened to have life in it and using it to do stem cell research was considered a blasphemy, a term religious fucktards use when science beats the fucking shit out of religion and god every other time and they have no evidence to prove religion right and science wrong. In other words, we call that "Appeal to Authority". "You should not do that! Why? Because you should not!" Typical Crap, accusing people who want to save lives as murderers and then calling upon Jihad because you can have 7 virgin pussies to lick for yourselves in heaven when you die.

Now the good news is, we can extract stem cells from guess what? Human testicles and this technology will be mainstream before i smash the mosquito on my hand that sucking on by blood right now.

My curiosity is, are the Catholics gonna look for every other masturbating man and hold his cum on their hands and put it in a plastic container and cryogenically freeze the man’s juice because each one of those 40 million sperms per cubic milli litre of semen is a potential life? Wow, i’m so deviously happy because i kill about 4 billion people in my shower everyday while i jerk off to the thought of me caressing some good pam anderson lee tits.

Nice try god, we’re gonna fix cancer, AIDS and what not with stem cell research in the future and miracle working televangelist’s like Benny Hinn can to take a hike. What next? Masturbating is the sole evil that is causing Global Warming? Sure, bring it on. We’re never tired of beating the shit out of you mother fuckers. Like this one, you will be in jail soon.

Richard Dawkins Rap - Beware the Believers

I’m not sure how many of you have already seen this but even though it insults my hero, richard dawkins this rap is amazing creativity. Check out the Lyrics below..

My name is D to the I to C to the K, Yeah I’m the Dickie D,
I gots my PhD and comin’ your way on the Youtube to bust your world view so just listen to me and don’t you argue.
You see, this battle’s been ragin’ since Zeus was on the bottle, ‘tween Science like Democritus and Faith like Aristotle,
who said the mover was unmovin’ like some magic trick but
that’s no good logic, my posse is far too quick for this
religious shtick.
Cos science is the only way to know y’all, you stand with me y’all, or you can fall y’all
So go ahead and take your pick…

ES: Yeah you tell him Rick …

Darwin: Cos if you don’t know me …

RD: YOU DON’T KNOW DICK!!

Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!

SH: On the shoulders of midgets we built up this machine

DD: YEAH!!!

RD: Science silenced that watchdog wingnut Paley
growing stronger and harder almost daily, storming Wilber by force as we framed the discourse that faith and science are split in schismatic divorce.
Then Darwin took to the seas to see what no one had seen, and ever since then we’ve been increasingly keen, they may never adore us, but they’ll no longer ignore us,
give it to ‘em PZ hit these BLEEP with the chorus!!!

Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!
Then there was Darrow dukin’ it out with the straight and the narrow,
a ragin’ bull in the ring, he did his thing, and took it on the chin like he was Bobby De Niro.

We might have lost at Scopes, beaten down by the dopes, and the stooges of popes, but in losin’ we coped, becomin’ more than we hoped, creationists slipped on the soap of their own slippery slope.
What was impossible, improbable, is now wholly unstoppable untoppleable, the Dick Dawk’ll roll up as you creationists foldup
you haters talkin’ bull,
don’t you know that this Dick is un-cock-frickin’ blockable …

Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!

Now the machine of our making, sees culture ripe for the taking,
Cos I’m the rappinest, rabidest atheist who unlike the Catholic, Muslim or even the Jew, believes that no God but science could ever be true, hell if I was dyslexic I’d even hate "dog" too.
Time to open your eyes, get yourself wise, the age of science will rise to be religion’s demise,
and while you churchies all cry, shouting ‘why God oh why,’ I’ll still be poppin’ my collar earning more dollars than Allah.
Hollah!

Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!

Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!

Something’s just make your day..

Not a very day today since i’ve been in front of the computer preparing for a certification exam tomorrow. Its been quite stressful and tiring. Just when i’m about to hit the sack, i check google and guess what? I find this…

The LHC on googles homepage! Fucking awesome man! I just can’t appreciate the genuine efforts and the commitment to science. I feel like as if google is saying "fuck off" to every other religious fuck in the world.

Go Google!

Freedom

These pigeons were up to some real shit okay. No, im not swearing, i mean in reality all they were doing is poo poo’ing the heads of the sacred gods on the temple tower with their biological white paint. So much for blasphemy i was so thrilled that someone was shitting on religion in broad daylight and nobody could do anything about it. What more could an atheist ask for? I was delighted and the sarcasm that flowed was relishing.

Some people think that other people will not do something just because you make it illegal for them to do it. What in essence it actually creates is an illegal black market for it and brings along violence, crime and discrimination of all sorts. Prime examples would be drugs and prostitution. Despite countries having death and life sentence there is no stopping it from happening.

A free country will allow its citizens to inject any garbage into their body as long as it does not harm the person next to him/her. In essence this is what these pigeons represented today morning while i observed them through a long lens. They were messing around with the most sacred of structures and nobody cared it these were Hindu pigeons or Muslim pigeons or Christian pigeons. They had their right to poo on these idols of holiness and we had our right to talk to imaginary beings in our head who will ensure all of us get virgins when we die and go to heaven.

Truth about creationism

I now have a valid excuse why I don’t believe in creationism. I’m worried about the size of my penis. Look at this bloody image….

Every image of a man reaching out to god, they either have a small dick or in this case, almost no dick at all! I don’t care if I go to hell, but as long as im alive im gonna have a normal penis and there is no one getting in between me and my tool. Not even god!
