I think Brunnen_G is correct in saying that this disclaimer probably won't prevent any type of "spiritual" discussion. I have two questions, though.

How do you know that what you offer up here is not malarky? (this is a rhetorical question, no need to answer because I can just imagine where people would take this)

If what you say is true, that all religions are false, then what is your basis for there even being a soul inside of us?

I don't want to assume anything about your world view so I won't extend any more questions or arguments. I do enjoy the philosophical thoughts, though.
