John, I seriously try to understand other people's beliefs, and often ask questions to clarify my understanding. Metaphysical and supernatural beliefs particularly puzzle me, because to me they seem unnecessary mental baggage for my understanding and enjoyment of this life. I am content to be as temporary and ephemeral as a cloud, a squirrel or a tree. But I would like to understand why you, like some other people, think it adds much to imagine non-physical, spiritual components to that cloud, squirrel, tree, or me.
