There is a physical world and there is a spiritual world. They are separate but complimentary. And, you know that to be true.

There doesn't have to be a god to make prayer useful. "Clearing" can also be useful.

No, I don't know that to be true.
There is no such thing as a spiritual world. You have no evidence to suggest there is a spiritual world. If you do submit it to be tested and evaluated objectively.

And if I thought for one second, that I would be spending eternity in total bliss, why would I even care about the events of this world. It seems I would error on the side of caution and sell all my worldly possessions and help the poor, like Jesus commands.

I could do that but, then I would have to become totally irresponsible and dependent on the government for my welfare. That would make me a Liberal. I could not live with that self concept.
Instead, I choose to be responsible to my household and to my family. I choose to contribute a portion of my time and money to help the poor. I truly believe my choice is acceptable to my Lord.

So Jesus preached irresponsible behavior. Well, how about that?

When Jesus heard his answer, he said, "There is still one thing you haven't done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

You see that would be a liberal atheist's interpretation and not the proper exegesis of Scripture. Giving to the poor and less fortunate is a given in the Christian way of life.
Jesus was emphasizing the error of focusing importance on material possessions. He was teaching the rich young ruler how to obtain the Kingdom of God. That is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

I am not, nor have I ever been, a rich young ruler.

I guess it figures you would not question or research independently from what you are told.

Believing something with no evidence to support that belief is gullibility.
"Religion is the philosophy of ignorance." I can't say that is an exact quote of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but it's what I remember him saying in a speech and I find it to be accurate.

Even the scientists that believe in Christianity have to leave their beliefs behind when they do their work. If they were to just attribute something to God, they would lose their job. Attributing something to God ends the learning process and gets us no where.

Prove that there is any such thing as a spiritual component. It's something people made up to explain what they didn't understand. No one has ever come up with any evidence to support the existence of any spiritualism.
You guys make a lot of claims with zero objective evidence to even suggest that your claims are true.

You opinions along with everyone else's is proof of the "non physical" or spiritual side of reality. The laws of physics are incapable of an opinion and have no concern for what anyone believes. Right or wrong, good or bad is totally a spiritual construct. Since we exist with an innate spirituality, spiritual reality is a very real part of nature.
...
Your rebuttal is flat and unimaginative. Without the spiritual component that life imparts to physical reality nothing would have meaning. As spiritual beings we can reflect on the wonders of God's creation. Objectivity is impossible for those who have blinded themselves to the Truth.
