Spirituality

I know how the majority here feels about religion, and I couldn't agree more. The idea of a giant invisible man in the sky telling me not to have sex seems pretty bizarre to me too. But what about spirituality?

I feel it's much different from religion. I'll define spirituality here as recognizing yourself as part of something bigger. For instance, at a sub-cellular level, we're all just the same inorganic matter. Does this make us part of, or one with, the universe? When Einstein spoke of god, I believe this is something like what he meant. Many theists like to claim he was on their side, but actually he was referring not to a personified higher power, but the vast and complex universe, as god.

So I guess the main question to everyone is: what are your thoughts on spirituality(as defined above)?

I don't mind not getting into Heaven as long as there's cigarettes in Hell
