@sonship saidBut all we have on this forum to discuss these things are human beings. There's nothing about my tagline that precludes talking about "the spirit" or the "soul" or "the creation" or "a maximal spirit" or a "maximal soul" or a maximal Person". It's all part of spirituality.
Before the spirit and soul or man you have the creation. Where did that come from if man and his spirit and soul are nowhere to be found? Then we must talk about a maximal spirit or maximal soul or a maximal Person. But that maximal person is not a human being.

Why on Earth would you channel all your 'Spirituality discussion' towards Humanism?
Are you getting confused? I wouldn't.
The present tag I think is adequate. And whoever thought it up did about as best as they could include the possibilities.
I don't think I need to say more about it.
Debate and general discussion of the supernatural, religion, and the life after.

@sonship saidYou've put this in quotation marks. Who do you claim to be quoting here?
"Human non-material components verses material and physical things is the arena of discussion here. Your talk of God is somewhat out of the ball park. We assume there is only man involved in Spirituality."

Why do you want to change the tag line?
Why did you propose it and ask everybody if they would object or not?
Why do you consider your tag line an improvement?

I have not read all of the submissions to this thread yet.
If you always read through all the submissions to any thread before you comment, that's a good practice.
Its better then what I do on long threads which I might not entirely read before I comment.

@sonship saidI disagree. "General discussion" of just three things that make up only a limited take on the scope of the topic of spirituality does not imply there is 'so much more to spirituality than those three things'. Quite the opposite, in fact.
@FMF
There so much more to spirituality than the supernatural, religion, and the afterlife.
The phrase "general discussion" to me implies that.

Obviously, "supernatural, religion, and the life after" encapsulates much narrower parameters.
General discussion implies to me things such as and including. We don't need a PERFECT tag line.
Religion, as you posted recently, covers all kinds of people espousing all kinds of ideas. That's what you told us.
Now you say it is narrow in its parameters. I don't think you can have it both ways.
