I'm spiritual, but not religious, but why is this?
Whenever I ask a question on here about atheist generalisations and logical flaws (obviously not to do with science, because only an idiot would think evolution etc. is a lie), do I get no actual answers.
I've actually asked a few serious questions to try and understand why there seems to be a pack mindset in a majority of vocal atheists on the internet and why this mindset seems to be the most illogical thing to come out of atheism.
I get no decent replies about the phenomena and most people assume I'm taking the **** out of the ENTIRE of atheism and I'm a God loving Christian who wants to show how evil atheists are.
I'm seriously just interested in the social phenomena. Why does this keep happening?
P.S. If you were reasonable enough to actually read this question thoroughly, and failed to properly answer my other questions, can you please go back and give reasonable and rational responses addressing the questions and not acting all defensive?
@Alexis: My ending question point: "How evil is Christianity now" (in reference to MLK). Your answer "He committed adultery." WOW THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION. I mean heck, you didn't even suggest that Christianity made him commit adultery, you didn't even suggest adultery was evil. You utterly fail at answering questions.
@Jamie: It is accusatory of how stupid SOME atheists are. If you're offended because you use that kind of irrationality in arguments, then I'd like to hear the mindset behind that. I don't want to hear: "HERP DERP HITLER WAS CHRISTIAN DON'T TRY TO BLAME ATHEISM ZOMG!!!"

Phae as continuously interesting questions... The Roman Catholic Church is the only authentic faith and all others are the two fake or misled. i'm becoming a niche so as that folk can thumb me down or up from merely the fact above. I suggested that as quickly as i became sixteen while i became a student in London between Orthodox Christians, Muslims, and Agnostics. We have been on the three rd floor of the student dorm. i became almost thrown out the window that evening. I on no account suggested that because then. For I vowed on no account to think of in those words. at present i'm Buddhist, and that i make it a habit on no account to assert something like, MY Buddhism is larger than others. there is not any such ingredient. which you are able to respond to your question, I define S & R tolerance as being waiting to settle for different religions as what they're. i attempt to coach tolerance daily yet I nevertheless have confidence in what I do. besides the reality that i do no longer say or think of that our faith is better to others what I do good now works for me. it somewhat is the very essence of 'concept' isn't it? I see it this style, each religious entity (employer) could desire to maintain a particular shape and a particular border. they're like products of a jigsaw puzzle. There are borders that are nicely matched exceedingly into yet another. the comprehensive puzzle constitutes the photograph. it is what's clever. At that ingredient we see the photograph and that we are ALL ONE. thank you for an incredible Q!!!!!

Because spiritualism and religion are completely different.
Spiritualism involves introspection, and anything is possible with your mind. Lucid dreaming and astral projections or even smoking salvia can be considered a spiritual event since it's all about perception and your mind.
Religion is an outside thing, therefore it must fit into your reality and is something outside of your perception, it's basically believing in something that (in my opinion, and i'm sorry if it's offensive to anyone) is impossible. that's why it's called faith

What social phenomenon is that? Not believing something that has zero logical or empirical proof to back it up? What's to be defensive about saying "You claim an invisible magical being exists, but offer no credible evidence to back up that claim, so I don't believe you"?

Theists believe, atheists don't, and people like that make God do their bidding. The Devil is spiritual not religious.

I'm afraid I did answer you as did others.
That you didn't like the answers and are throwing a "tantrum of fail" is not really my problem.

It's mostly because you phrase your questions in an accusatory manner.
edit: You see, you're being very aggressive.

Cos you can't decide what you are, or you are very clever and articulate troll.
