Rationalize discounting all spiritual experiences from all human beings from the dawn of recorded history as symptoms of delusion or ignorance. (I don't really care if you answer, I'm just poking fun at your sense of entitlement.) I asked you to define "spiritual experience" first before I answer, you left that part out (you're very dishonest with how you use words, so I have to get a clear defintion first) I don't care if you answer because I don't care how you rationalize labeling yourself a 'Materialist'. Like I said, I'm just having fun. I have no intellectual investment in this interaction. I'm killing time while getting paid at work. The more narrowly a person defines themselves, the more narrow minded their thinking will be. Every person who has religious or spiritual experiences are deluding themselves and you're intellectually superior to them. You're way smarter than those folks.

"I don't care if you answer because I don't care how you rationalize labeling yourself a 'Materialist'." And yet you keep responding anyways. "Like I said, I'm just having fun. I have no intellectual investment in this interaction. I'm killing time while getting paid at work." I'm sure those burgers aren't gonna flip themselves. "The more narrowly a person defines themselves, the more narrow minded their thinking will be." No, I asked for clarification because again you're very slippery and dishonest with how you use terms. Again give me a clear defintion before I answer. I suspect you don't want to because it allows you more wiggle room to be dishonest. "Every person who has religious or spiritual experiences are deluding themselves and you're intellectually superior to them." And more idiotic strawmans.

"No, it's a dumb question that's impossible to answer accurately." No you just don't wanna answer because you're an intellectual coward. This is essentially the same argument from global warming deniers ("Well not all climate scientists agree! It's impossible to answer accurately!") Again, if you were to poll a bunch of philosophy teachers, how many do you think would agree with you? Try to actually answer this time. Do you imagine any Vedanta Philosophy instructors would agree with your philosophy of Materialism? I'm narcissistic and entitled, so I expect you to answer...even though it would be impossible for me to prove either way if you're correct or not. You're really fun bro. At least you admit you are a narcissist.

Not interested since I don't really give a shit about your opinion. Materialists don't interest me. I'm just responding now because I can tell you're a person who wants to get the last word in so I'll keep responding.. but I won't be able to take you as seriously as you apparently expect me to.

Haven't you heard? Atheists don't believe there is no god, they "lack the belief" that there is one in the same way theists "lack the belief" that there isn't. It's all semantic bullshit designed with only one real purpose: To avoid the burden of proof. Well, what can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. This ^^^^^^^

At least you admit you are a narcissist. I was paraphrasing his stupid question and poking fun at the entitlement and narcissism that's inherent in demanding a response to such a stupid question. If I could dismiss all spiritual and religious experiences as products of ignorance and delusion, I would indeed be extremely narcissistic.

"Not interested since I don't really give a shit about your opinion." Pathetic. As I predicted your not gonna give an actual defintion because then you don't get to play fast and loose with the term. Nice try. You don't give a shit about my opinion? Then why did you ask in the first place? "Materialists don't interest me." Your first post was literally about materialists, you constantly make posts about materialsim, but materialists don't interest you? OH ok. "I'm just responding now because I can tell you're a person who wants to get the last word in so I'll keep responding.. Go ahead, you keep saying dumb things everytime you do.
