And isn't it?
I want to change my assertion.
"Spirituality" is the result of festooning the universe
with large scale meaning... and then claiming that
this meaning comes from outside of oneself.
The former is not all that bad, but the latter habit
directly results in all sorts of fanaticism and
intolerance, not to mention a being radically incorrect
view of the nature of meaning.
