[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1181647, member: 2189"] Perfectly content with that. Never gave it a moments concern about where I was at before I was born so why should I worry about returning to that? Before you think spirituality is exclusive to a search for the divine, you might consider the greek word pneuma which is also the same word translated spirit in the new testament. It has nothing to do with searching for the divine. It's also the root word of pneumatic and pneumonia and neither of those pertain to a divine quest. When you understand that, you'll then understand that even an atheist can be moved by spiritual things. Like a great symphony, a moving poem, good theater or the grandeur of a distant vista. Or in my case going 100's of feet deep under ground 100's of times and seeing first hand that the earth is a living organism. :wink2: [/QUOTE]
