For a scientist, you are gravely sure of your assumptions.
In other words, you cannot come up with any other uses for the bible other than your own selfish needs? I am gravely sure of the contradictions and inconsistencies of the bible.
No, and you can understand it (spiritual health). Don't play stupid.
It is impossible to understand, spirits or the spiritual do not exist, that's why I'm asking you, what is spiritual health?
No, this doesn't follow. You have come to this conclusion because you believe that the subjective and the objective could never meet.
It does follow, you yourself have argued vehemently against other theists here, who have all argued against one another about the word of god. It is not my conclusion, it is a fact theists have demonstrated here. Not one of you, or only one of you have spiritual health and know the correct interpretation of the bible, is it you?
No.
Thank you. That is exactly what I thought.
Now that you have honestly admitted to not knowing the correct interpretation of the bible, you must now question your own beliefs, as they may be quite wrong.
Do you go to church? If so, why are you not standing up in the middle of a sermon and questioning the one who is delivering the sermon, since you are listening to his interpretation of the bible. Do you think his interpretation is correct? You cannot, since you don't know the correct interpretation. Do you think anyone else listening to the sermon knows the correct interpretation? Again, probably not.
Therefore, your beliefs are based on incorrect interpretations of the bible, and so is everyone elses.
Stop with this self-victimization logic, Q.
What do you mean? YOU made the claims, I'm simply following through on your claims, which amounts to god treating everyone different, giving different imformation to each person. These are YOUR claims.
Perhaps you should try thinking through your arguments before posting.
Among other things, that sometimes, with some people, one cannot have a reasonable discussion.
That is the most important thing you've learned using spiritual intelligence? It is quite useless then, as that is a simply human condition anyone can understand.
Have you learned anything else?
BTW - what is spiritual intelligence?
Who is that and what authority do they have?
And most of all, why do you bother about them?
I'm not sure what you're asking. Authority of spiritual intelligence or authority of nature?
If authority of nature, the authority is the evidence provided by nature, in which gods play no part whatsoever due to no evidence of gods.
You'll have to answer the question of authority in regards to spiritual intelligence.
There is evidence for anything. It just depends on who is looking and for what.
Scientists study evidence. That's pretty much it.
Where is the evidence for gods? Who has found it?
If you do a google search, you'll find many sites on it (spiritual intelligence).
I did that, and found most sites are either religious or mystical. This site gives some indication of anatomical coordinates within the brain. It describes SQ, the "ultimate intelligence that serves as a necessary foundation for the effective functioning of both IQ and EQ" (emotional intelligence). It will take me some time to further research the claim below.
How do you know you are physically healthy?
Physical examinations.
It may seem relative, but we come equipped with a sense of what is physically healthy, and we can sharpen this sense.
Similar with spirituality.
One cannot simply know they are physically healthy by their own senses. If so, we would not need doctors to provide physical examinations. We may feel pain due to a physical problem, but at best we can only speculate its cause.
The soul.
Cris has answered that one. And I do hope you and he discuss the soul further as I know it is one of his favorite topics.
In fact, there is a wonderful post put together from a former member of sciforums which discusses the soul at great length.
Hey Cris, do you remember that post from boris?

It will take me some time to further research the claim below.
The Scientific Evidence for SQ deals with the anatomy and functioning of the brain. It summarizes present knowledge of the subject, including the studies in neural oscillations that point to a third kind of thinking of which the brain is capable - unitive thinking. A fulsome chapter is devoted to the significance of the brain's 40 Hz neural oscillations; what different brain wave patterns mean, and the more profound question of where does consciousness come from. The chapter dealing with the 'God spot' in the brain, identified by neurobiologists Persinger and Ramachandran, and the varieties of spiritual experiences emanating therefrom, lead the authors to make some intriguing connections with human behaviors.
