What do you think is the intellectual foundation of spiritual values?

Do you think there's room for intuition or faith in that framework?

For example, for me, spiritual values often resonate on a personal level that isn't always easy to articulate intellectually. We have the Bible for written reference, and many other historical documents and possible evidence.

Past thinkers, theologians, and intellectuals - such as yourself - have been credited with various observations, critical exposition, and all the related range of rational versus spiritual concepts.. and a deep divide or chasm resulted. The element of "choice or free will", as we're talking about here, was created without a bridge to cross. And adherents to each side, permitted their own truths and little of the others.

Probably why you and I just can't seem to find that "truce" needed for this kind of conversation. We're both stuck in to our beliefs.

IMHO - The spiritual answers gifted by God can lead to the intellectual courses of reason and ethics...but it is dependent on God's influences and directions that are already in creation, not those assumed to be.
