I don't think so. I can't imagine what personality has to do with anything.

And the soul the way we understand it different from personality, its something inherent to a person's existence from conception on, so that's why I say it determines personhood. Will see the video and comment on it.
When I go to the bother of coming up with an alternative understanding of "soul" for the sake of finding common ground is not the time to come back with an unthinking blather of dogma. I reject all that on the face of it.
wow I watched your video its awesome. Need some time to learn it.

at some point you have to go back to math which is a very dogmatic and repressive system. That makes you eeeevil. And closed minded too!

I mean, I can demonstrate arrythmetics with a lair of apples, it he demonstrates it on paper. So how do you figure out who's right? You look at the outcome of the ways of thinking. And the outcome for ignoring the existence of the soul as the immaterial part of human beings is to undermine human dignity, freedom, responsibility and rights in exchange for a system where truth is determined by who is stronger, or has more voice in the media.(August 31, 2015 at 12:19 am)Whateverist the White Wrote: I don't think so.
