-Removed-Our metaphysical dimension is rooted in our faculties and capacities and need not be supernatural in any way.
Our each and every "soul" is that personhood which is founded on exclusive access to our each and every narrative, in harness with the unique moral compass that each of has, which is interwoven with that narrative, and which guides us as we continue the narrative into the future.
That unique personhood is the human "soul", I reckon. It's utterly astonishing, so it's no wonder many [most] people think that it's created by a deity and that it's supernatural in substance.
-Removed-Yes. Brain function. And the unique narrative and moral compass this brain function affords us gives us an identity which is the same thing, to my way of thinking, as what theists are referring to when they talk about our "souls". Except, they think it's of supernatural origin while I think it of metaphysical origin.
I find no credible reason to believe any of the "revealed" Gods are involved.
@bigdoggproblem saidFor sooth, some people want not soothing.
Hah! Another "soothing irrationality"!
Then again, who are theists to talk in this respect!
-Removed-It’s neither but that’s irrelevant anyway dive. I’m just tying to get clarification on who can and cannot discuss ‘spirituality” whilst maintaining the internal logic of their philosophy.
I think the actual problem is that this forums title and brief rubric is too restrictive if we use the dictionary definitions of ‘spirituality’. It almost precludes the question regarding the nature of reality and sets up a two dimensional bun fight between theists and atheists along with a good dose of trench warfare between the Christians of different interpretational dogmas. None of which is really in the spirit of a genuine search for truths concerning the nature of existence IMO.
