Subject: RE: BS: Spiritualism as opposed to religion?
As far as verifiable and testable information, none is coming from the religionists on this site.

They haven't got any, and never will have. That's the whole point of faith. You have to turn your back on all that in order to espouse notions that fly in the face of all logic and reason. There is so much evidence that God does not exist that to espouse faith is to indulge in the ultimate irrationality. I've known people of faith who cheerfully acknowledge this, and they are fine and entertaining people to talk with. Unfortunately, many people of faith would sooner just shut their eyes and ears and tell us to stop being rude to them, even though they're rude enough not to listen to us.
