I'm Spiritual?

"I don't believe in God. I'm not what you would call a spiritual person" Ken Follett The Pillars of the Earth

I suppose you would "call" a person spiritual if they pray to a god and attend religious activities.

But, to be human is to be spiritual. Every human is a spiritual person. Not to be spiritual is not to be human.

Spong??


I'm reading about Spong and these quotes caught my fancy:


“When a visitor enquired as to why there were two Baptist churches in this single tiny town (in east Tennessee), the visitor was told , “This Baptist church says, ‘there ain’t no hell’, and this other Baptist church says, ‘the hell there ain’t’.” JS Spong Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism pg 4


In the introduction, we (Michael R. Bott and Jonathan D. Sarfati) quoted a review which said that Spong "has the guts to tell it like it is." It would be more accurate to say that he is the populist who "has the cheek to tell it like it isn't." http://www.christian-apologetics.org/html/Whats_wrong_Spong.htm
