"spirituality vs dumicity"

It's very difficult to achieve any sense of spirituality these days, because it's so hard to be forgiving of stupid people. I don't mean ignorance. People who are simply ignorant of a subject are different from stupid people. There is a (slim) chance that when you take a person and point out something they don't know, they might try and learn. Here is where the line of division comes, because a stupid person won't feel a need to learn anything, and thus remain ignorant. Stupid people usually form into subgroups/species of jackasses, assholes, jerks, ratbastards, et cetera. One type of stupidity comes of narrowmindedness--tunnel thinking, if I may. This kind of stupidity spreads into every aspect of life where people have a choice, because it doesn't see, or is unable to accept the fact that not everyone will follow the same line of thought. As far as spirituality goes, this stupidity won't allow you to be spiritual outside of whatever religion they say is standard for all people.
Unfortunately, the stupidity levels have reached criticial mass, making it more difficult to find like minded people to help one in reaching a desired state, regardless of what religion they choose to follow.
Although I'd like to say that I don't think religion is necessary to be spiritual.
Next rambling thought: spirituality through the net.
