Very well put. I see it as groping in the light filled fog of ethereal relativity trying to find the mystery of life in an illusion that does not exist :cloud9:

comments?

Wouldn't that be spiritual? Isn't righteousness how one's mind and heart are changed to be like Christ? Isn't walking with God allegorical of relationship - which is spiritual?
