The following quote distills the spirit of the essay.
"When I claim to be spiritual it's not a claim I make because I necessarily
believe in spirits or souls, let alone a Christian style 'God'. It is a
claim I make because I live by non-material Principles - that other great
category of the timeless.
"The distillation of the wisdom of the Havamal, what many Asatruar and
Odinists call the Nine Noble Virtues are Courage, Truth, Honour, Loyalty,
Discipline, Hospitality, Industriousness, Self-Reliance and Perseverance.
There is no expiry date on these. They do not age, they do not decay. These
are spiritual values in every sense of the word, no matter what ones
beliefs are with regard to the Gods.
"Living by timeless values is what qualifies one as being spiritual."
I think something like this works for Church of Virus. We have our sins
and virtues, which I imagine could extrapolate into something like the
Asatru Nine Noble Virtues. -Jake
