I don't think anything good can come from an attraction to death and damnation, I don't think there is anything at all spiritual about the Armageddon people. They would be better off reading Plato.

I'm certainly willing to allow anyone to pursue his or her spirit in any way possible. I pursue mine, not in the traditional Christian manner but in my own. I'm still a Christian, and they can be too. The human urge to connect with spirituality is unstoppable. Some Native Americans found their spirit by piercing their breast muscles with skewers and suspending their entire weight on these skewers. Others went on vision quests. I've seen some of the rock cairns they built while pursuing their spirit, and I felt my own start to tingle. Two weeks ago I found a Salish Indian grave in the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness area that was over 100 years old. Others who had stumbled on it left small gifts. Coins, feathers, candy, several rifle cartridges, and so forth. I left my own gift, a pistol cartridge, since I did not have anything else to offer.
