It is too late and I am too tired to argue with you and the Dalai Lama over the difference between spirituality and religion, maybe later we can get into that.

I was reacting to your comment that at least one in ten books on the bestseller list have to do with spirituality. I'll bet the number is higher than that. If you throw in self-help books its probably nine in ten books. Why is the public constantly buying these books? These books have been huge since at least the early 80s, look at how many years The Road Less Travelled was on the paperback bestseller list. I think its mostly the same people buying the same recycled titles. It doesn't seem to be availing them very much. On that optimistic note I will say goodnight.
