It is like our culture is a kid that has been mistreated who grows up and wants nothing to do with his parents, because they abused him in some way. This is, of course, an understandable response but it leave the kid disconnected from his past. Even though his parents may have mistreated him in some way, in closing that door he chooses to close off everything that was beneficial as well. So this is what has happened with science & spirituality and it is so ingrained in our thinking!

Hi KoolAid,

This isn't a good example.I don't think you can compare our culture to an abused child in this way and then somehow connect it with science and spirituality...and just as an afterthought, I was an abused child myself. One size doesn't fit all.

Kind regards,
