What about you?

Not religious at all and don't believe even a little bit in anything supernatural.
I'm in awe of the grandeur of life the universe and everything but wouldn't use the word spiritual becasue of its connotations.
No, no, and maybe.
Spiritual is such a nebulous term I guess in some ways it would apply to me. But it's not something I think about regularly.
I think more of these things lately.
I do not consider myself religious, but I do believe in the HUMAN SPIRIT, ie., I think that it is HUMANS that accomplish whatever gets done. When I give thanks it is to the person who does something for me, not a mythical supernatural being. In that sense, then, I consider myself spiritual.

No, yes, and yes.

No and No. As to spiritual - what the heck does that even mean?
It seems to me that one person's(x) spirituality to another person(Y) may seem like bunk, even as they consider themself(Y) as being spiritual.
I am no religious. I do not believe in god. But I would consider myself "spiritual," not in the sense I believe in anything supernatural, but because I look below the surface. I also think you can have a "spiritual" experience, but it is all brain stuff.
Religion defined:
A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature and purpose of the universe especially when considered as the creation of a super human agency usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code of human affairs.
Belief in God defined:
Has anyone ever defined what that means?
Does it mean I believe The God and/or gods exist?
Or does it mean I believe existing gods can be trusted?
What does "in" as in belief "in" god mean?
In other words if I could get IN God, would I believe?
If I was in God I think I would not believe in myself. But I believe in myself, so can I also say I believe in God? I think I can say I believe of God.
I am spiritual but I also realize that I can not know myself that I am spiritual compared to The Spirit.
I am partially religious, but I do not have a group. I trust that God The Father who is Love exists. I am more spiritual than fleshly.
I do consider myself slightly religious. I still go to a few meetings.
I do believe in "God" -
I think I am a spiritual person to some degree as defined by me and most people.
The WTBTS WOULD NOT think I am a spiritual person as I am cmmunicating on this board with all you " spiritually diseased -nasty apostate" people.
