Guest quotes (27 Mar 14 - 04:15 AM): "Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality." Carl Sagan

Sounds pretty good to me. What Musket nastily calls "religion lite" (and then pretends it's not an insult) is just that - finding spirituality in the facts given us by science. Seems to me that what we should seek is whatever brings us to a positive, constructive view of life and the environment that surrounds us.

To seek to refute and destroy attempts at constructive thinking, seems to be small-minded and mean-spirited, at the very least. Sometimes I wonder whether some of our Mudcat Brethren understand the concept of constructive discussion. Messrs. Blandiver, Shaw, and Musket may well need a shrink to get them out of their funk.
