Am I a bad person for thinking spirituality is a heap?
Most of my family see spirituality in everything, but i don't, i just think it's nonsense.
Does this make me a bad person, for not seeing a mystic awe in things?  |

No, everyone has their own mind and along with that, your own choices, beliefs and so on..
Just remember, some people do change, based on a personal situation/tragedy.  |

To each his own.
Don't squawk though when you reach the Pearly Gates.

Yes, it's close minded not to believe in invisible deities. Get to church!  |

You're never wrong in what YOU believe.
But, don't you find something "more" in some aspects of life?
Without that little bit of "spiritual feeling" in some things experienced, life would be a dull ride.

But what are the criteria for entry into heaven?
Who is to say it necessarily comes down to following Biblical teachings? |

Those who are telling you it's closed minded not to be spiritual, are only recommending that you try THEIR religion.
They would never tell someone they were close minded for not giving Hinduism a fair shot, for example. Just their God.
So in the end, their position is the most close minded of all.
-except the guy who was just joking.
