But what is this about the Ten Commandments? What relevance does this have? Some (Commandments) are pretty good, some are essential in a society, a couple are meaningless (Who to worship, graven images, etc.). If a person goes through life following them, then fine... but so what? I have no problem with it. I follow most of them myself, simply because they are common sense...

Well the Ten Commandments is the basis of Judaism and Christianity so if you find no problem with someone following them it seems to me that the statement which I responded to that " Spiritualists not only deny their own earthly humanity, but also everything that is good in life here on earth in order to arrogantly proclaim they know more about invisible kingdoms." is just plain wrong.

You are trying to make me look like I am bashing religion. I made the that quoted statement above in response to this statement you made:

Materialists not only deny their own humanity but also everything that is good in life in order to arrogantly proclaim themselves free from a superior being.

AND I made the disclaimer that I am not attacking religion, I am simply taking the opposite viewpoint that you are taking to show the absurdity. YOU MADE the attack on materialism, but that doesn't matter. Only fundamentalist religious types have the right to be angry when they're theories are attacked. Isn't that right gore?

I was trying to be civil. I even apologized for saying "spiritualist" if it offended you. But you are obviously delusional. So now I must ask just one question...HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?
