Alberta Atheism Theism and Spirituality

Atheists and theists have differing views about spirituality. In this post a dictionary definition of  “spirituality” will be used, namely, ‘something consisting of spirit : not corporeal’.

Quite a number of years ago, enrolled in an Anthropology class in an Alberta university, I read a related book which described the life of a given tribe of people. The book made mention of physical material moving about their residence with no apparent involvement from a physical force. At the time this seemed unlikely, if not impossible.

As the years progressed I did research on major world religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and others. It became clear that most, if not all, have incorporeal aspects as part of their belief. Research into small-scale belief systems such as New Age, Spiritualism, Martial Arts, Wicca and Satanism, show they also have incorporeal features that come into play in the exercise of their faith.

The purpose of this current post is not to suggest which forenamed beliefs are right or wrong, but to prompt those who are unbelievers to see whether a wrong conclusion has been made about the question of spirituality. One way of doing this is to talk to those who are actively practicing their faith, preferably those who are leaders. They should be able to offer some information or evidence. In addition there are, of course, many other sources of information.

There are many debates about whether there is a Supreme Being and debates can be helpful.  But perhaps it would be a good idea to first determine whether there are minor incorporeal elements as part of our world. If so, then it becomes easier to consider whether there is a Supreme Being.

Those who would argue that there are no incorporeal elements need to realize that there is no means to prove such a belief. Incorporeal spiritual aspects of any kind can not be assessed in a lab and neither can logic finally resolve this question. That is why the answer needs to be found elsewhere.

Life is a fleeting thing so we need to be careful what we do with it. That’s why it’s important to get the question of spirituality resolved.

Thanks for visiting.

    I seriously love your website.. Pleasant colors & theme.
    Did you create this web site yourself? Please reply back
    aas I’m looking to create my own website and want to learn where you got this
    from or exactly what the theme is named.

    Cheers!

      Hi Jasmin. Everything I do is through Word Press and the literature they have on their website. Hope this helps.

    • hechl says:

      Hi Jasman. I’ve done my blog myself but I work through WordPress and learned pretty well everything I know through the information they make available on their website.

    • hechl says:

      Hello Jasmin. I’m new to blogging so perhaps not much help. Everything I’v done is as a result of using the information available from WordPress. Go to their site and run off the information they have available. Check their site to see whether the theme is available. Have a good day.

    Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
    if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon buut have no coding experience so I wanted to
    get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be
    enormously appreciated!

      Hello Huey, In answer to your question I’m probably no help. I’m new to blogging so everything I do is through Word Press and the literature available at their website. Sorry I’m not more help to you.

  3. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re
    working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard
    time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs
    and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting
    off-topic but I had to ask!

    for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.

    If you know of any please share. Thank you!

  21. Hello.This article was really interesting, particularly since I was searching for thoughts on this matter last Sunday.

  22. Lien says:

    I’ve been surfing on-line greater than three hours as of late, but I never discovered any
    attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did,
    the net shall be much more useful than ever before.
