Activist, I think you take this a little too seriously. You have to accept that there will be people out there who need the crutch of spirituality to help themselves come to grips with reality. Nothing you or I can say will sway the minds of these unshakeable believers, but we don't need to argue. Personally, I find the discussion the most interesting part, regardless of who 'converts' whom in the end.
And mokrie dela. Like I said before, I'm not afraid of your 'unseen' stuff. That's a typical spiritualist barb, which doesn't actually carry weight. I can more validly say that you (and all spiritual people) are in fact afraid of admitting that there is no spiritual realm, and that the physical reality is all there is. That is a truly frightening prospect; that we are no more than flecks of chalk on a planetary cueball, whirling round and round in cosmic emptiness. Perhaps you are afraid of the finality of death, and turn to spirituality to ease that fear. Perhaps, like Shaun, you have experienced great horrors, and hang on to the false order spirituality brings to life. Whatever draws you to spirituality, I urge you to try to take a look at your beliefs without the filter of fear or of hope, and use evidence and logic to see the Universe as it truly is.
