Hi John,

thank you. I can convince anyone on this website because your minds will have to be active in order for me to do so. In other words, you have to let reason and reality be your standard of judgement. There are many innocent people who become Christians, or join some other religion (or cause) who are ignorant of process of reason. On the other hand, there are many intellectually dishonest people who know they are wrong (or evade their own rational questions) because they are afraid of the truth. It is this psychological state that I cannot change.

As for spirituality, I am profoundly spiritual. Spirituality pretains to consciousness. A person devoted to the understanding of the workings of consciousness is a highly spiritual person. Spirituality defined, is the life force which manifests itself in consciousness. I do not accept a spiriital/material dichotomy. I suggest studying the etymology of the word. It is not I who is attempting to prove spirituality wrong.

Wayne Simmons
