Evidence?

You have none, which means you are confusing faith for fact, which also means nobody here should listen to you (as if they were anyway).

No evidence needed, we call it "logic".

Please don't bastardise logic, especially as it's obvious you're not clued up on what it entails.

I didn't add anything.
When a friend says your name, I'd assume that they think about more than your organs. When you give to a charity, I wouldn't guess that you think about the electrical charges in the neural systems of the less fortunate.
I, and others, just take what makes one an intrinsically valuable person and give it a name.

So, God does exist then?

Like I've said before, if you have nothing of value to contribute, then don't respond at all.

Please make a file of all things you atheists consider of value and I'll Judge for myself what is of value and what not.

1. Not taking anything you have to say to heart because you persist in talking nonsense.

Also, I think it's hilarious that you think that we're accountable to you in any way.

When are you going to turn your trolling up to 11?

I am done responding to you.

When a friend says my name, he is addressing my self as an individual and not focusing their attention on what I'm made of. But that does not mean that my self, scientifically speaking, is anything beyond my brain and my body.

So how I think does not mean I must have a soul. We are generally conditioned to see people as more than just objects because that's what's been helping us as human beings to function in life with each other.

And that's a 'soul', by some definitions. It's not some organ Jesus invented, it's just a word that theists use to describe what we are conditioned and some taught by religions to see people as.

I agree. All claims about death being the end or we continue to exist after death are made by the living. Near death experiences just tell us what people experienced before doctors brought them back to life. Nobody has returned from being irretrievably dead to tell us anything about it.
