does anyone hold similar beliefs?
"i belive that everything is connected. the universe is a big huge system and each planet is a smaller system that is part of that big universe, and so on. i believe our actions affect others, even those we may never know. kind of the whole ""if a butterfly flaps it's wings"" thing.
i don't believe in a soul, i don't believe in an afterlife, a god or gods, the human spirit, etc. i believe that we can explain things using natural phenomena and that there is no such thing as the ""supernatural""
yet i am told that my beliefs are still ""spiritual"" which i'm not sure i get. any thoughts?
does anyone hold similar beliefs?"

"I am an atheist and I believe basically the same things as you spoke about, and yes I believe them to be 'spiritual' beliefs.
That does NOT mean I am attibuting the unexplained occurances of our universe to God or any such deity.
For me, 'spiritual' beliefs do not have to be connected to faith, deities or religion. Some things just ARE...I don't know how or why and I honestly don't care how or why.
To me, spirituality encompasses the unseen, the felt and the unexplained and for me has no ties to religion.
Hope that helped a little!"

"Somewhat similar. But I believe in a soul. I believe that the soul exists because the synapses and hormones and whatnot in my brain are it. I'm very comfortable using words like ""soul"" to describe what is a purely physical phenomena.
I believe in spirituality in being contemplative, in having an awareness of the beauty and grandeur of nature, in having a sense of self and peace."
