Well, I was being flippant. And I've counted at least seven wholly
irresponsible comments. (Comes from firing off replies, a grave fault of
mine.)
I am ready to say, yes, they should be opening themselves to something
else, and possibilities are always present. Hard to do anything else but be
open to a possibility....
And yes, I think 'spirituality' is pseudo, but not necessarily invalid. I
think we are still looking for a valid definition of the term as it applies
to CoV. It is the embrace of religiousness that I consider misdirected.
Religiousness and spirituality are quite probably twain. I am a
materialist, however, and am still unwilling to separate any spirit from
the flesh.
And I am ready to say, along with many others it seems, that regardless of
traditions and past endeavors, there just ain't any reason not to say
bye-bye to religion in any of its forms. There's more out there, Horatio....
