This is the second wholly irresponsible comment that I have seen you
make on this list: are you calling everyone who opens him/herself to even
the _possibility_ of a spiritual/religious viewpoint an idiot? It seems so,
and _that_ is blatantly pseudo-intellectual (bigoted would seem more
appropriate).
You defend David's comment on disagreement and then go on to make a
tactless, sweeping invalidation of an entire field of human interest (this
is plainly _destructive_, regardless of whether "spirituality" or
"religion" has been, is, or will be destructive as well).

I find your input stimulating (BTW, thanks for correcting me on the
spelling of Nietzsche's name :b ), but comments like this make me wonder
whether you are in sync with the purpose of this list....
