Whatever. The bulk of the people still don't know they can separate being spiritual from belonging to a religion. They think if you aren't "religious" you must be an atheist. I don't expect an open mind or creative thinking from sheep anyway.
You either believe in the supernatural or not.
I personally believe in the potential for things outside what we currently consider our natural scope, since we obviously haven't figured it all out yet (and never will), but once they're discovered, they become natural anyway.
Religion involves both belief in the supernatural and deference to some other human's misplaced authority (because he knows more about the imaginary than you do). Or some other book's misplaced authority (because it contains eternal, unquestionable truths).
Religion is almost certainly bullshit. ALL religion.
The supernatural, well, it's only supernatural because we haven't figured out how to measure it yet.
Spirituality doesn't have to be a component of the supernatural. It can be just a representation of how we live our lives and interact with others. Choose goodness, and it generally is welcomed and rewarded because people generally like to be treated well. The benefit of that is that it makes you feel good, and usually inspires good feelings in others who will spread those good actions along to the next person with whom they interact.
That's my method of being spiritual - spreading goodness, thinking deeply, and being respectful as well as respectable.
Well, at least in my offline life... :D

I find no need for supernatural. Period.
What we know is what we know. Scientist or science will increase what we know. Keep it simple.
My supernatural is what the effects of beer and pot present to me and most of that is short lived. ;D
Being a decent person isn't, or shouldn't be, considered a supernatural belief or action of any kind. Being a decent person should be expected.
(Expect the unexpected! :D ;D ;D ;D )
I feel that saying fuck you is very decent. It implies the desire for the recepient to receive the same treatment as you've experienced. Except in your case Craig. ;D ;D
I wish you could say "Fuck You" to a hot girl and she would fuck you. That'd be cool.
:P
