Well, here's my quik response:
1. No, prayer has not helped mankind as a whole from what I can tell.
2. No, I don't celebrate genocide.
3. Not quite sure I agree with the concept of "spiritual being" and such. We are a part of nature with brings with it varying emotions, but I don't really consider that "spirit".
4. I recognize 2 Corinthians and the entire Bible as what it is- a man-made book. You can look at it as God-written or inspired, a book of philosphy and/or history, but to me and many others it mainly reflects the mindset and culture of those times, which wasn't exactly pleasant for women, slaves, etc.
5. Many emotions bind us together; we are social animals. You see it throughout nature.
6. Not quite sure about this one. Many have different definitions on what "spirit" means. Some do use it to the same extent as emotions, but it depnds on who you ask.
Of course, these are all opinions, all subject to change upon evidence. Maybe that's being open-minded, I dunno
