§1037. "Spirituality" zombies and their "cosmic forces"

And what about those who believe in "spirituality", in a "cosmic force" of some sort? Believing in a force means "I am weak", because the force itself that you believe in does NOT believe in a force, it believes IN ITSELF. The force says I AM a force, not I BELIEVE in SOME OTHER force. "Spirituality" zombies are weaklings who are however too smart to keep going with the ancient anthropomorphized fairy tales of God as an old man with a beard and penis. They're not naive and dumb enough for that, and that's why they turn God into vague "spirits" and "forces" and so on, and worship the philosophers (i.e. the real gods) with generic psycho-babble instead of reading our books and trying to understand us. In short, they are a better sort of people than the religious ones, but not by much.
