Yes, I know you make silly claims. I'm glad you finally admit it.
You could avoid embarrassment if you didn't though.

The 'spirit' or the 'soul' is an ethereal structure which is identical with the material body; it is the true man in fact; the body without the soul is like a cast board: does not hear, does not see and does not perceive anything.

Good news, LL.
"Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.' So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: 'May King Darius live forever! The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.' So King Darius put the decree in writing. Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before." (Daniel 6:3-10 NIV)
Daniel was living as a captive in a foreign country. Not only did Daniel decline the king's food, but also disregarded the king's edict banning prayer. In belief and practice, Daniel lived in humble, but courageous resistance to his "host" culture.
What physical and spiritual offerings of our Western culture contribute to our physical and spiritual decline and demise?
since when is "decline and demise",,considered good news?
I've yet to hear positive news.
The Bible sets forth the implications of the incarnation in sensationally direct form in the Book of Daniel. Addressing the king (always a figure for the god) Daniel tells him that he will be taken away from human beings to dwell with the wild animals; and he condenses volumes of Platonic philosophy dealing with the obscuration of deific intellect in the descent, into the pithy statement, repeated three times in the first five chapters, that "you shall be given the mind of an animal"! An animal’s mind was given unto him and his dwelling was with the wild beasts." Also: "He ate grass like cattle, and his nails grew like the claws of a bird." (Incidentally, here is positive proof of the non-historicity of Bible narrative, since these things did not happen
to the historical King, Nebuchadnezzar!) But the Paradise lost in the incarnation was regained in the end, for finally, "When the time was over, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes unto heaven; my reason returned unto me, and I blessed the Lord, praising him and honoring him forever." The period of the duress in animal habitat is given as "seven years," each cycle of incarnate life being completed in seven ages! And all the mighty meaning of this grand allegory was missed because Nebuchadnezzar was taken for an historical personage, instead of a figure for the god in man.
Divine intellect, dispersed into all forms of divulsion and enfeeblement, torn into fragments, with the links of connection lost, condemned to wander blindly in murks and shadows, must be reintegrated in the end. "My reason returned unto me," says the reconstituted Nebuchadnezzar. The Prodigal Son remembered his forgotten Father’s house on high. Away off in that "far country," the Vale of Lethe and Land of Oblivion, the exiled soul begins to recover from its amnesia, and the divine nostalgia sets in to lead it back home.

We all dislike bad news, LL. The good news/gospel is meaningless without the bad news/law. Likewise nourishing food (physical and spiritual) has its non-nourishing counterpart. We have identified some nutritious and non-nutritious physical foods.
What are some examples of healthy and unhealthy spiritual fare?
Unhealthy fare: dogma and rhetoric brought about by someone else and left unquestioned.
Healthy fare: independent individual decision.
Truth levels mountains and fill in valleys in my soul, making straight paths for the Spirit of life. Biblically-inspired literature, music and art are healthy spiritual fare for me, AG. Unhealthy spiritual fare for me includes all media content which promotes things contrary to the nature of God.
I'm singing Handel's Messiah in three weeks. Does that qualify?
