Hello, Epicurus of Samos actually suggested that the soul dies when the physical body dies.
Sorry but what is with your obsession with what the ancients had to say? Whateverist the White of Berkeley said it too. Why is what Epicurus or Samos said more important that what I said? Were they made of more precious stuff?
Don't get me wrong. It is nice to give credit to those whose ideas influenced your own. But I'm quite certain that we today are every bit as capable of thinking things through as anyone at any other time.
Frankly it comes off as insecurity that what you have to say won't be taken seriously standing on its own. You need to become much more full of yourself.
