My spirits come in liquid form

I believe spiritualism is just more bullshit.
I don't believe in it any more than I believe in gods or religion.

I also think that being "spiritual" is bullshit, as well.
I won't even apologize for thinking anyone who claims they are "spiritual"
is an idiot.

Fucking load of nonsense [bing.com]

I actually enjoy and respect some aspects of it, others not so much. For instance, the brand of spirituality some of the Native North Americans had (the kinds that didn't demand war and sacrifices) seem pretty benign, and even useful in many instances. Spirituality is also often not evangelistic, which is one of the things that annoys me most about religion. Still, there are some pretty far out, and decidedly unhelpful brands of spirituality circulating. Especially those that undermine science and reason.

As long as they don't push their beliefs on me, I really don't care.

If, I was still spiritual, I wouldn't be on this web site. Logic is more comforting than spiritual bs.

I am spiritual.

Spiritualism has nothing to do with religion. It's ALL about mind, body, soul energy.

My wife gets solace from occasionally going to our local Spiritualist church, and values the stuff there. I go with her, but she knows I am an atheist. The people there are usually elders and pleasant.

Spiritualism -- [spir-i-choo-uh-liz-uh m]

n

1. A belief in stuff that isn't real
2. May or may not include a magical deity who is also not real
3. Another word for dumb people believing in dumb things that aren't real
4. Dumb
5. Stupid
6. etc...

Everything is a result of a physical interaction between atoms, therefore nothing can be beyond that. Unless your version of spirituality is compatible with this, it's not real.

Well... I feel like the basis of all religions are pretty much the same.

With spirituality I guess I get that they feel that there’s some sort of interconnectness with humanity.

We have come from the universe and that’s pretty magical in itself

Why would you call yourself atheist or even agnostic if you are going to make something else up?

I'm new here, so perhaps this sort of question is more common than I'd have thought. Personally I put belief in magic, however it's labeled, as beyond the scope of rational belief. That said, I guess one cannot prove some sort of quantum entanglement might result in something that appears magic? I include "agnostic" in my list of self-descriptors on this site (also named agnostic.com) because while I'm 99.9% sure there's no higher power(s) out there, I certainly cannot prove there's not.

Woowooness maxximuss

Pretty much the same as my thoughts about the fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Indeed it is all bullshit. Done in the dark so as to better fool you and just another brand of supernaturalism. In earlier life I studied these things. Today I believe in nothing supernatural. No spirits, no gods.

All that needs to be said about spiritualism is that it was a movement/religion begun in the middle of the nineteenth century by Kate and Margaret Fox who reported that they spoke with the spirit of a murder victim. A lot of people attended their sceances, and believed that the were really mediums. Later the sisters admitted it was all a hoax, but that didn't dissuade their believers.

If it gets someone through what’s the problem? You don’t have to get involved!

BS

Spiritualist Bullshit but energy different story

Some responses here seem to be confusing spirituality with spiritualism. Spiritualism is the belief in communicating with the dead via mediums. As I see no way to obtain information about supernatural beings and realms, it falls into the same category as gods ... no knowledge claim, and therefore no supportable belief, can be embraced in the total absence of data.

I have doubts about spirits.

How about someone ACTUALLY gives a DEFINITIVE meaning, etc, to exactly what 'Spiritualism' is truly is?

Spiritualism is made of the same concept as religion. To me, we're brains, minds, inner world, no spirit. When there's no more life, there's no more what we call spirit...no more us.
