Wonderful stamp. I'm a atheist science girl, but I also believe in ghosts and that sort of stuff.

I came looking for something like this because I though to myself that I wouldn't fit in "Athiest" or "Religious". To be honest, I don't believe that god, "sacred objects", or Jesus exist.
But I still think that things like ghosts/spirits/souls are real ^A^; Help me out here, does this indicate that I'm spiritual?

Spiritual: Of, relating to, or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.
And I'm glad you like the stamp :]

Spiritual is a nonsense word. When you look it up in a dictionary you can get as many as twelve different entries, some of which contradict each other. It's so vaguely and arbitrarily defined that you could twist it to mean whatever you want. So arguing over how everyone should define it is quite pointless imo.

Of course it's a nonsense word. (And there are exactly twelve entries on Dictionary.com, good job.) If "spiritual" wasn't vague and flexible then people wouldn't want to label their self as that. It has to be intangible and undefined. Religion is confusing enough, by saying that religion makes you spiritual or that you have to be spiritual to join a religion you are just twisting them both. This stamp is stating that keeping them apart helps those who feel they believe in something or really anything so that they can call themselves "spiritual" and keep religion out of it.
This isn't saying everyone should define it this way, but if you want to define it this way then go ahead and fave the stamp. If not then just go on your way, because you can define anything however you want to. Go make a stamp saying they are the same thing, or saying that spiritual is undefinable, do whatever you please.
Anyway, thanks for a researched comment. :]

This is very, very true. Thank you for making such a stamp - people like to group "spiritual" and "religious" in the same category, which is completely wrong.

Thank you! It's nice to know others agree that there is a big difference.
