No. I am not going to put words you did not say into your mouth (I am not a mind reader). It's become clear to me that I simply don't belong in forums. I don't enjoy when others define spiritual reality in absolute terms; I find it disrespectful and often arrogant. It's not up to others to change, so I will.

I'm sorry you take it like this. My opinion is my opinion. I don't need to say it's my opinion for you to be clear about it being my opinion you can just take it as a given, not for my sake... For your own. If you feel the opinion of one person is enough to leave a forum over then that's your choice. Agreeing to disagree is another choice, it would be my personal preference.
I am not defining spirituality in absolute terms. I am defining reality in absolute terms. It is true that reality and spirituality overlap. But "what physically happens" and what you "spiritually experience" are two entirely different things. When we speak about these things we speak about our opinions on these things. We don't initially agree since sometimes the same feelings and understandings are described in different terms and sometimes we have different feelings and understandings. But we converge over time and come to a clear understanding of each other and our own position through learning.
I'm sorry if I offended you that was not my intent. However, just like I gave you my opinion, you gave me yours.
