Does technology destroy spirituality? (morals, Earth, scriptures, pray, morals)

[robtex]

At one time when man was more polytheistic in nature man worshiped the God of the sea the God of the air the God of the sun ect ect. Since than man has discovered that the sea is devoid of any Gods that the sun is not a deity but instead a star and that the sky has no signs of a deity amoung it.

Spirtuality in its relationship to the divine should be congruent with our current understanding of reality is and technology has had only a positive impact upon that endeavor.

The waves that were once thought to be cause by a sea God are now realized to be caused by the moon and the Gods who were once believed to have lived in the clouds have long since been passed by man in his trips to space.

Ones spirtuality should be in congruence to technology as opposed to competition of it. A construction of a pattern of mutual exclusivity by the two should cause enough concern for inspection not because one leads the other or vice versa, but because both should be harmonious in their presentations.

Our spirtuality is a part of our reality and I would say that our reality should aways be contingent upon our observations and our deductions of which technology is a major part of.

Spirituality is being fully in the moment. It is fully experiencing yourself. One of my most spiritual moments was playing "Unchained Melody" on my electronic keyboard. I was fully in to that moment. So technology can assist your spirituality.

Consumerism is more of a threat than tecnology itself. Consumerism promices fofillment in the form of owning things to make you happy, yet consumerism wouldn't survive unless it was always makeing you want something new to make you happy. Thus you never reach a state of peace with yourself.
You can enjoy tecnology without being consumerist.

I'll take the "comparatively spiritually aware" as a compliment.

Why not both? I figure that the two are so intimately connected that they drive each other synergetically...even consumerism has positive points in that respect. It definately drives technology, society, and thus benifits us...it is certainly detrimental spiritually, though, where technology is not so detrimental (Personally, tech has often helped my spirituality).
