Re: Spirit of England

I have got to admit that some of the spirituality I see here makes me wary, I come from a family of devout "creationist" christians. I have also got to say that I am not a devout christian and I am most certainly not a creationist.

I prefer to look at what I see for what it is, I look at a butterfly or a tree and marvel I don't need to search for some spiritual force, it just satifies me that it is probably the end result of billions of years of an evolutionary process that started by chance and without spiritual reason or some "guiding" and "intelligent" power. I just wonder why some of us have this need to try put a spiritual and "magical" bent on things.

Having walked across a few toes I will now duck for cover.
