<p>"-How do you judge religiousity? How many times a person goes to church? I just don't think that is possible to quantify. I don't go to church or even read the Bible, but I still consider myself a religious person."</p>
<p>On various levels. Do you believe in God? How old do you think the Earth is? Do you think the flaming inferno of the middle east and a potential nuclear war in Iran would be the cause of the Second Coming? Etc. etc.</p>
<p>"-You keep saying that Buddhism can be seen as a "philosophy of life." So can Christianity! They are STILL religions, and still require some kind of conception of an afterlife."</p>
<p>No. Buddhism (Confucianism, too) is not theistic. And no, I don't see Christianity as some sort of moral-guiding philosophy of life. I guess I'm morally compromised since I don't have a bible Lolz.</p>
<p>"So Harris doesn't lack spirituality altogether. I hate to keep using him as an example, but it does attest to the fact that spirituality, be it Buddhist meditation or the Golden Rule, is impossible to avoid."</p>
<p>No it doesn't. My existence attests to the fact that spirituality isn't impossible to avoid. Well, depends what you mean by avoid. Do you mean be exposed to and have some knowledge of? In that case, it may very well be impossible to avoid it, but then this entire argument would be even stupider than I thought. Or by avoid, do you mean not have personal experience/involvement in (this spirituality/superstition/religion)? In that case, then I can and have avoided it.</p>
<p>"Huh? Evolution is separate from G<em>d conceptually, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. But by the Group theory, a belief in G</em>d clearly helps a group succeed in the survival of the fittest."</p>
<p>Before you were saying it's destiny or some biological nonsense. It's a product of thought which is a product of evolution, and now you're just repeating Dawkins.</p>
<p>"Oh, I should add, ducking and covering is not really going to do much good in a nuclear attack... It will in an Earthquake because you can get under a desk to prevent head injuries from falling debris."</p>
<p>The term refers to nuclear attack drills.</p>
