Faith has specific meaning, so does belief. You might go a bit longer if you try to understand the words you’re erroneously signifying

Are you suggesting that there are words which do not have a specific meaning? If you want to break out a different dictionary be my guest, but faith means, and I quote [0] the first entry in the Cambridge dictionary, "great trust or confidence in something or someone". Spiritual, FYI, is "relating to deep feelings and beliefs, especially religious beliefs".

  Nobody gives a shit about the dictionary. Framing other people’s worldview as one of faith and spirituality because you think you have a clever semantic argument is not wisdom. If you can’t tell that this line of reasoning is likely to induce annoyance and misunderstanding, then you’re demonstrating social ineptitude more than anything. If you ever have to explain that the words you’re using don’t mean what others think they mean in order to maintain your points validity, you’re not discussing anything of worth. You are discussing semantics. like I said, your view is just porno. Which is a perfectly cromulent descriptor for some definitions that I don’t care to explain. And no, don’t bring up the authority of the dictionary. Because we are now here discussing definitions rather than actual concepts so any rightness you had is forfeit to the fact that people don’t agree with your semantics.

    > ... like I said, your view is just porno ... If it makes you feel any better, the Buddhist monks take vows of celebacy and swear not to discharge semen. They really are the best for counterexamples. Unless you have very odd tastes in porn. Of course, a lot of serious spiritual types do similar things. I'm not as sure what the specific vows of the Catholics are.

      No you don’t get it. The semen discharge is just an aspect of porno that you haven’t consumed yet as part of your growing world view.

        So far you've argued that the dictionary is an invalid tool for determining what words mean and now you're in the awkward position of arguing about how pornos don't involve sex. Usually I'd ask you to explain yourself, but in this case I don't think you can. So instead I'll just close off with the observation that you probably would benefit from sitting down, relaxing a bit and thinking a little bit about your beliefs. Life is pretty good, but you don't want to get old and then have big spiritual revelations - it is too late to do much with them. It is worth talking about this sort of thing seriously rather than just pushing nonsense.

        No, you just don’t get it. You don’t understand. You’re so pronographically limited in your understanding that you can’t see the framework. Your spirituality is just one bit of money shot prelude. If you don’t get it, you really risk going limp and messing up the big finish before you die. Spirituality and faith is important but just a piece of your porno.
