but it doesn't fulfill the spiritual void in one's life, IMO. It's the spiritual void which drives the awakenings.

you're creating a tautology

you claim we have a void. i say we fill this alleged void by aiding our fellow man. you say we can't fill the void b/c it's spiritual

it's a never-ending cycle

Some of you are too young to have experienced the nascence of this modern information age.

As an atheist I was always attuned to the various predictions of the consequences of ready information. I was amused by the then optimism of religionists... that "spreading the word" would become more efficient and successful than ever.

Of course, the true visionaries knew that freethought and skepticism had always been sabotaged and buried by religious orthodoxy and its monopoly over traditional media, and that there would be no theo-evangelical advantage to the free flow of ideas.

We are merely witnessing what should have been easily predicted.

What you are witnessing is a line of thought buried under a government mandated monopoly in our schools.

For the sake of America, we should all hope not. Religion voters are the worst, second only to Trump supporters.

GTFO. At least trump supporters are likely to pay taxes.
