There's nothing wrong with seeing more in a lunar eclipse than a 'neat light show'.
You may think finding meaning in otherwise spiritless and mechanical processes is a 'vestige of our less enlightened past', but I think it's what makes us human and our lives worth living.
Though there are of course some poor fools who scrabble for meaning and significance in real things. How empty their lives must be, compared to one who knows that the blood moon is a sign to spill the bowels of the unbeliever upon the altars of Baal-Hamon, Lord of the Multitude.

Re: Spirit Be Damned.
I'm moving nothing. My original statement was:
There's nothing wrong with seeing more in a lunar eclipse than a 'neat light show'.
And I stand by that statement.
Finding meaning in the mundane is a basic part of being human, and there is nothing wrong about finding meaning in anything and everything at all.
However, it is preferable that the meanings we attach to things should be true rather than false.
