The Origin of Spirituality: The Void and the Vague
The above cartoon from atheistcartoons.com nicely illustrates the point I made in my brief post Unscientific Science from two days ago. I ended with this:
Although it is a popular word, spirituality is a lousy variable. Strong science and strong science writing gets specific, and the term spirituality is not.
On a related note, when attending college a friend of mine joked about belonging to the “church of the blessed void.” A blessed void indeed. What’s a void but a gap in our understanding . . . by another name?
Hmm. Can we say ignorance is bliss and bliss is spiritual, ergo, ignorance is spiritual?
