i've always wondered that.

recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.

cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

I have not once suggested that it doesn't exist, I have merely persistently asked , if it does exist , what comprises it ~~ Viviane

Ok, but are you "suggesting " that you have an inner sincere desire to change into believing in the existence of spirit

should someone happen upon an acceptable definition ?

Would you not agree that your negative response to many idea's presented would "suggest " that you do not wish for there to be an acceptable answer ?

Why is it do you think so many here , by their comments , seem to feel like this thread is a hostile enviroment ?

Do you feel you as "O Poster" have set a friendly tone for others to follow ?

As a child I quickly learned that if I said please and thank you and was very pleasant I got more candy

Viv.. "We are no closer to the truth "

The truth is .....we are not privy at this time to understand .. I gave two bible verses to verify this thought

but you breezed right past those

Understanding the difference between you and we is expressed in this joke

Nurse Vivian says to an old man in a nursing home "Shall we take our bath now ? "

Old man ....." Well you go right ahead I will just watch this time "

"We "implies co-operative effort of will or purpose

Any rational person would simlpy say that unless you can clearly define what the hell you are talking about, we can safely ignore all talk aboutt this imaginary stuff you call spirit ~~Cofty

"So Cofty's logic is.. if we humans cannot understand something... it cannot exist or make sense" ~~~ Cal

Cofty you say "don't put words in my mouth" .... I beleive not the words but the thoughts I expressed are pretty damn close in meaning to yours right ?

So cofty's logic is ... if we as humans cannot explain or understand something... it cannot exist or make sense.

Is. 55:9

Who says we must be given privy to understand exactly what spirit is , at this place in time ?

Who says if we cannot put these things in human terms it must all be hogwash ?

One of these woman above tries to use empathy and compassion.... one is a shit disturber

Just remember ...."misery love company"

A "reasonable person" will try to find common ground without needless insults

I know which one I would feel comfortable to share a beer with ..." God save the Queen "

Faith is not a virtue ....cofty

Is this a blanket statement or with regards to scientific matters only ?

...in other words is not faith on some things a virtue ?

... How about belief that good will triumph or evil or that you can do anything you put your mind to .

This is taking a postive optimistic view which can change the world if enough are motivated by this thought
