Thread: What does spirituality provide that science doesn't?

Dannon - yes, VERY relevant!!! Xaq, I think I'll hit Amazon in a minute here and order that one... maybe a few more by him.

As I was eating this thought occurred to me:

I developed my Rational Skeptical Atheist attitude I think mainly as a hedge AGAINST religious fundamentalism. In that respect I think it was a natural and necessary step. I don't want dogma and ancient no-longer-valid thinking. Skepticism itself is good and healthy and is helping us to free ourselves from a lot of hidebound traditions - that's a good thing. But I don't want to be stuck in a Rationalist Atheist mindset. In some ways I must admit it IS reductionist.

So... now a healthy dose of Rational Atheist Materialism has freed me from dogmatic assertions. Now I'm ready to start looking at alternatives. More book suggestions please! ... Juroara? Taosaur? Anyone else feel free too, but I;m interested in especially the recommendations of people who've been active so far on this thread as they're beginning to help me push past my blocks.
