Where I am, God is not, where God is, I am not. These people you quote
are behaviorists. They lack a spiritual sense, in my humble opinion,
which will keep them on a sidetrack of the main road called Life.
Brightest blessings,
Mark

No, they're neurologists. It's not surprising, though, that you are unable
to tell the difference.

Every religious fruitcake thinks those who don't agree with his crackpot
notions just aren't spiritual enough.

If God is omnipresent, how can he not be somewhere?

So you don't think subscribing to a bunch of sentimental, romantic,
spiritual bullshit is likely to keep you on a "sidetrack", then? You
think living in an imaginary universe is a productive route through
"Life"?
Have you ever considered the possibility that you might just be a
deluded idiot, and that the "spiritual teachers" who put this kind of
garbage in your head and told you to say things like "brightest
blessings" are in fact deluded frauds? Because if you haven't
considered this possibility, I suggest to you that it might be a good
idea for you to do so.

That's a good question Erwin. What roles are emotions playing in the
course of evolution? How come emotions are part of higher brain
functions? Is taking a geo-centric approach to such questions
ultimately extremely, extremely, extremely myopic? Just what is
going on in this universe of dust and gases, that gave rise to our
infinitesimal dust speck of a planet where carbon molecules bonded
together and gave rise to automatonic substances that eventually
gave rise to breathing, thinking humans?

Of course it's a good question. What the fuck are you telling me that
for?

Really? I thought behaviourism was dead for several decades. Do you
lump any neurosomethings that say something you don't like, under
that label "behaviourist"?
>They lack a spiritual sense, in my humble opinion,
What is a spiritual sense, in your opinion?
>which will keep them on a sidetrack of the main road called Life.
And a spiritual sense would help with that? Is it something like
a navigation device?
