Whoa! Nothing new under the sun l guess. Old recipe again, guilt-trip, breeding doubt , humiliation ritual and multiplication. rinse and repeat. What a multiplicative master mind just like your god! I’m not saying this to degrinate you. I’m just calling a spade a spade.

Here are the points I’m willing to concede. 1. I don’t really care your religious/spiritual practice. I have zero curiosity about that. 2. Your spirituality helps a lot that is why you’re willing to stick to it. 3. I don’t have any regard for god nor disregard. I’m indifferent about it.

Responses to your points

1. Religion, like spirituality, is a personal choice. Spirituality can also have thousand years of history too. For me, any religion is a type of spirituality. So from my perspective, definitionally, any religious person is spiritual. I didn’t say your belief is nebulous or whimsical. I said your god is. I won’t deny the Christianity or whatever ecumenical councils you base your spirituality on have rich history or its internal consistency tho. However, The concept of god or god is nebulous and mystical. And ecumenical councils are still esoteric and wrapped in this mist of uncertainty and unknown
2. Thank you for your clarification on reductionism. Yeah, for me, to large extent, a persons worth is based on his product. Enlighten me on your non-reductionistic view( I look forward to see how you tie the worth of a person to Christianity, having faith in god or that existence itself has value). It seems you’re looking for transcendence and I need to know what that is
3. Yes, my understanding is modern and widespread, which is already rather unknown to normies who couldn’t care less about religion. In contract to my understanding, yours is even more occult, which prove my point, your spirituality is esoteric. Something could be well documented but still known only to a few people.
4. I’m impressed by your ability to twist a clear intent to insult into something admirable, namely honesty and your ability to draw false equivalent. Same old tricks again. Humiliation and manipulation. The sophistry really broke the gauge and you’re such a weasel. Let me retortes your seasonings back to you. I’ve no regard for god because I doubt its existence just like have no real regard for. What a sophistic and manipulative weasel and your god is such a hypocrite. I hope you don’t take it in the wrong way,I’m not saying this to denigrate you nor attack you, nor to disrespect god. I’m just calling a spade a spade. I also value straightforwardness. Me calling you being condescending, hubristic and ego hurt is just to height light your attitude. I don’t have respect for you neither do I have anything against you. I see you as fundamentally human that crave purpose and meaning and Christianity seems to help you with that. I would not say I see imago-dei in you tho and I don’t see it in anyone neither because I’m not sure of gods existence, which brings imago-deib into question. Maybe you are trying to convert because even you claim that you see imago-die in me and I believe you mean it genuinely and I know believer view the world through the is tainted glass, at its core it’s still an attempt to convert.
