As I said, this is what my CEO sent all of us for a "Holiday Greeting."

"A wise man was asked, how do we measure the success of our own spirituality?"

Besides the politically correct fact that it is now "wrong" to say "Merry Christmas" and you have to say "Happy Holiday" to keep from offending anyone.

How am I supposed to interpret his question?

"Spirituality?" WTF does that mean?

I smash atoms for a living. I make things radioactive on purpose. I change one element into another. I make anti-matter on a daily basis.

I deal in the scientific and analytical world. My site is THE world leader in making radioisotopes that help to diagnose, prevent and cure cancer.

Here is my question:


WTF does "spirituality" have to do with any of this?

It was humans; using their minds, analytical skills and the scientific method to achieve these goals. GOD had nothing to do with it.


BTW, the vatican, 400 years later, has finally decided to forgive Galileo for pointing out that the Universe doesn't revolve around the Earth.

merry nativity myth celebration day!!

Can we just accept the fact that it's more likely than not that Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th and just say this is a celebration of Jesus... If you don't want to celebrate it....don't.


You spirituality can be measured however you measure it..... it shouldn't be measured by others.

You don't need to believe in god to see the value in keep alive the human spirit.

you don't need to believe in a soul either. by "human spirit" you're just referring to qualities
in humans that we value, and/or the emotional responses that those qualities elicit in humans
that we tend to value. there's nothing metaphysical involved.

We agree.

My point was that "spiritual" doesn't necessarily have to require supernatural.

**** PCness


ghey imo

"Spirit" is a fancy word for personality.

The baby jesus zombie was never claimed to be born on december 25th, even christrians know this, except for Hollywoods dumb ass.

December 25th was a pagan holiday stolen by christians.

say what you want to say imo


when im delivering...i notice the xmas stuff around and in the house... so i sat "merry chrsitmas"

when nothing is there i say nothing (bc i hate happy holidays)


now i saw "happy new years!"


bc its NYs for everyone!


ypu cant escape it!!
lol

Once again...you continue your perfect streak of being wrong in an attempt to be cute...Fail

I have stated before that it is more likely than not that HE was not born on December 25 and more likely that HE was born around April.

I'd be happy to explain it to you if you want.

Will the reason that it is more likely be using the same reason that other stuff was "likely" in the other thread?

no

you can be spiritual or riligous about anything

lol, this reminds me of something I face on a regular basis.

In the military (at least, in the AF... let me know if it's different in the Army, Spade, and maybe I'll switch) they tell us how to be a good airman, we must be sound spiritually. Then they tell us "spiritual doesn't mean religious", which I'm pretty certain is horseshit. But what can you expect from a government organization that somehow feels it isn't a violation of the separation of church and state to have a mandatory christian invocation at the beginning of every formal event.

Unit
Corp
God
Country

We get a similar thing, but it isn't pushed down our throats on anything.

sign me up!

We get like 11 free days off for Christmas in the Army too, right?

11?!

Ugh, malingerers. =P

I'm in the process of trying to decide if I'm going to re-enlist. If I do, it'll be only if they let me do a 365 deployment. Don't know if I wanna do Afghanistan or Iraq... I've already been to Afghanistan, though. If I stay in, I wanna feel like I actually did something.

Is that possible?
