That makes the majority of Americans open to spiritual deception. They don’t measure the good through objectivity, but subjectivity.

Very true. The intentionally non-committal “spirituality” without acceptance and obedience to the one true God is just an open invitation to be influenced by demons masquerading as all kinds of things. And in the nominally “Christian” world, those in the charismatic movement are similarly wide open to deception because they prioritize ecstatic emotional experiences and direct revelation from sources they refuse to test over the Gospel and true revelation provided in scripture. Both groups are being led by their emotions, which is the surest path to spiritual deception.

Very true. And that's a real danger for individuals and the country as a whole.

High sensitivity to the spiritual world and extremely low critical thinking skills combined are a recipe for disaster.

Pagan America. It allows for a lot of delusions, like, “Women can have penises!”

Very true.

I wonder what percentage of those who labeled themselves as *spiritual* are actually Christians, that is having a saving faith relationship with Jesus Christ.

BINGO! We have to work for the Lord. Being Spiritual could also mean for satan.

I object to that! I have here in my hands my graduation certificate from the Tinker Bell School of Divinity which proclaims that I am a wonderful, wonderful person.
