God's true home is NOT Heaven

[Cinjin]

I'm definitely with TheVoid on this one. Emporion has only succeeded at annoyance.

[Shell B]

I don't have the patience for this. God doesn't exist, so your riddle is irrelevant and intellectually dissatisfying. Whether I answer it or not, I get nothing out of it.

[Emporion]

What is in your brain that determines who you are?

Oh, you think it's just one part do you? We, the consciousness, are a product of the physical structure of a large portion of the brain, the way the neurons are wired, the way the chemical and electrical systems work.

That's the real answer to what in the brain determines "who" we are, but I assume you want some arty farty post modernist answer like "energy"?

Correct. Your sense of self is determined by neurochemical reactions in the brain. That is one entity. P(x) for all neurochemical reactions in the brain.

1 down 3 to go.

[Shell B]

Note that I am not in the gauntlet yet and I am still an atheist in the sense of faith.

Funny how you worded that. Does The Gauntlet interest you?

You may be an atheist in the sense of [lack of] faith [in a deity]. However, your approach, your way of thinking, your horribly confused way of debating and your willingness to take huge mental leaps to get to a conclusion are all very Baptistish. <---- I love my new word.

[Emporion]

Does nobody here want to think? I apparently so far have a bunch of bad apples here to deal with.

Maybe Tiberius can figure it out.

That is a very interesting word. I hope I am not banished to the gauntlet for being cryptic.

You first.

I apparently so far have a bunch of bad apples here to deal with.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Can't take people disagreeing with you? Don't draw them into an asinine discussion.

Maybe Tiberius can figure it out.

Maybe he'll make your riddle look even more stupid than the Voidmeister (among others) already did.

Of course you won't be. You won't even be banished for posting asinine riddles.

[Emporion]

I am an atheist in the sense of the concept of faith the believers use.
Void and ib.me.up got the first answer.

The self.

You are correct. Good job. <snip> One down, 3 questions to go.

What is in your brain that determines who you are?

2 x 1 = 1 huh?

A free thinker in this case obviously =/= a clear thinker.

Or perhaps you're from another planet

[Emporion]

Maybe he'll [Tiberius] make your riddle look even more stupid than the Voidmeister (among others) already did.

That will be quite entertaining to witness.

Really? Are you sure you will not label him a bad apple and continue on with this farce?
