Role of a Spiritual Person in a Civil Society

[Water Mitigation]

It is difficult to see the role of a spiritual person in the modern world. Everyone seems to contribute something in this world. A teacher imparts knowledge to the people, a scientist invents new knowledge, a technologist put into use the technical knowledge, a king rules, a soldier fights and so on. Everyone seems to have some role in the world. What does a spiritual person do?

[Yahtzee]

Another fucking religion post.... Great..

A spiritual person, if anything, contributes to the ultimate destruction of said society. If by spiritual you are referring to the typical "There is a deity above us that rules everything".

But yes, mainly, I doubt a spiritual person could contribute anything POSITIVE to a society.

Ask yourself, why is it hard for a spiritual person to find a place for himself or herself in nowadays society?

Your small minded. How about contributing peace?

[Ghast]

Spiritual people have no utilitarian purpose in the world; on par with conspiracists and people alike. They are just fools blinded by their own fear of death who manifest their insecurities with "religion".

First of all, knowledge is not invented; it is only transferred.
Second, what the fuck is a technologist?
And lastly, you are correct spiritual people have no purpose in this world. As history recalls, Roman-Catholics were at fault for the Dark Ages in the 14th century. 'Portal' might not have been a game today if it weren't for them.

Your small minded. How about contributing peace?

"You're" small minded. Peace is a ridiculous concept. Cessation to violence, enmity, or death is impossible. Peace is merely the absence of hate.

THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE EVERY SOCIETY NEEDS A TOKEN CHILD MOLESTOR.

Spiritual people don't do jack fucking shit to contribute to peace.

They help other spiritual people get along?
Honestly they have no purposeful value in life. Maybe yoga ornaome shit if you call that spiritual.

Lot's of things serve no importance. There are thousands of worthless things we all do, as a society. Like playing checkers, collecting shit, listening to music, drawing pictures when your bored, chatting on forums, playing video games, or for some people, praying to that guy up in the clouds, perhaps practicing wicca, or meditating. Etc.

Thanks to all of you for calling me a worthless piece of shit, no really, I appreciate it. Good job.

Spiritual people don't contribute anything huh?

My point exactly. Spirituality people contribute peace like i said.

[AlphaWeeaboo]

Well actually now that I see/remeber that i realized my statement was a little ignorant.
Anyways, everything has a purpose for something. Just becuase it doesn't serve some people well (atheists so to say in this matter) doesn't mean they don't contribute. It's more or less a person to person thing. Churches can have free dinner nights or soup kitchens and shit to help poor people. Sure, it's not going to cure poor people dying of starvation but they are serving to a good purpose of helping people. Tell me that isn't contributing for a purpose.

Churches don't host free dinner nights because they believe in God.

Read holy's post underneath then talk to me. I'm expecting an apology with your reply.

You're right. It was poorly worded. Let me rephrase: Religious belief does have jack fucking shit effect on whether or not you contribute to peace.

I'm not sorry.

Roman-Catholics were at fault for the Dark Ages in the 14th century

Christianity was not at fault for the Dark Ages. The Church was a key factor in the emergence of the Dark Ages from around 800 CE onward. A lot of credit for the university as an institution goes to the Church, and for good reason. By the fourteenth century, Europe was in the High Middle Ages and on the brink of Rebirth.

Yes you are not sorry. You are just completely retarded. There is no cure for someone like you. No point in helping you to not being so ignorant.
