do you really believe that this is true. Honestly, if you were look at your entire life experience, examine all the people you know well, can you stand by this statement?
Spirituality isn't essential to anyone's survival.

I would, and I agree with him.do you really believe that this is true. Honestly, if you were look at your entire life experience, examine all the people you know well, can you stand by this statement?
I wonder if this is why there is so much angst, depression and a sense of emptiness in our modern society where the focus, by and large, is on the externals?...
QFT! I wish people would STOP assuming that we all have the same exact needs as they do. I dont seek God, I dont need spirituality. Those IMO are distractions. All things in life are distractions for the most part, but those happen to be the least productive of them.Spirituality isn't essential to anyone's survival.

That should be your signature
It would seem that you would agree that no one needs "spirituality". And certainly not Humanity as a whole.
It would seem that you believe that "spirituality" has an over all negative effect.
It is fine to feel that way, but it is only rational to accept the fact that you might be wrong.

Have you tried?Without it, I would go mentally and emotionally crazy, and that would in turn affect me physically and harm my survival... but I'm no one.
this is a thread about progress and humanity, not spirituality.
Although no one would dispute that technology has advanced or progressed in a linear direction of ever increasing progress but what would you say for humanity in general?
In the 21st Century, has humanity, as a whole, progressed forward, stayed the same or regressed?
Are we becoming more human as we progress or less?
Have we evolved right along with our technological advancements or is modernity turning us into soulless/heartless/human-less beings who fight and clash with one another (in the big scheme of things) in an effort just to survive?
.
I read this as 'are we losing our humanity ' but I think you see it as 'how is the Iphone making us more human' (that's a little sarcastic, forgive me I am from New Jersey). For many the idea of being human or more human is tightly bound to their notions of Spirit, Soul, Spirituality and Soulfulness.
Some people will want that I guess but if I remember all my childhood shows and games, the immortal character just wants someone to kill him in the end.

If spirituality is a luxury, why did humans begin to live past their natural expiration point. More precisely, what was the materialist drive for a woman to live past the age reproductivity? (Women in fact live longer then men) I would posit it was the embracing of human spirituality that gave life meaning beyond the biological imperative to procreate. (of course I could be wrong, but it serves me well to believe this.)

What natural expiration point? And are you trying to say that the only possible thing that a woman could offer a society is babies?
