"What's the deal with Allison's tats? Sanskrit, Buddha, the Flower of Life...didn't people used to make fun of her because she still believed in Jesus?"

"Yeah, but a couple of months ago she took way too many mushrooms and went to a Gang Gang Dance show, got naked, and told everybody she was God. Now she's all American Spiritualist."

Spiritualist

1. A person who believes that the truth can mostly be found through our independent moral & spiritual conscience and contact with the divine-not just through sacred texts.

2. A person who communicates with the spirits of the dead, especially through mediums, (ie. spiritist).

3. A very spiritual person or someone who follows spiritualism

(Please read the definitions of spiritualism on Urban Dictionary).

'A spiritualist believes that following just one religion or philosophy is narrow-minded and limits our knowledge, whereas spirituality (following our own moral conscience / many religions or philosophies) is open-minded and grows us in knowledge.'
