That surprises me. Why?
Please note that "spiritual" != "supernatural". I'm using "spiritual" here to describe a particular kind of subjective experience that some people have and others don't. So there's no such thing as "rejection of the spiritual" -- that's a category error.
It shouldn't. Unfortunately, "taking offense" is some people's standard reaction to arguments they can't refute.
Have you had spiritual experiences? How do you explain them? How would you convince others of the reality of those experiences?
