We see ourselves as living breathing moving eating beings, and biology defines us as such, but one can come up with a philosophy that we are nonliving beings who happen to have evolved through natural processes to move around a lot, breathing in O2 and breathing out CO2, with limbs that help you move around and make sense of the world around you, triggering changes in nervous system to account for newly learned information, which in turn changes how you react to things, and so on.As far back as I can see, the idea of "soul" and "spirit" goes back to Aristotle who Alexander the Great had in tow when he conquered Israel. The Jews said to Alexander that he was predicted in their Scriptures and showed him. They said, "Try look Brah, we knew you where coming!" This impressed Alexander.
In summary, life is not some supernatural soul or some other magical entity.
Anyway, the Scriptures say very, very, little about the afterlife, especially the OT of the time. Aristotle taught the Jews about the "material" and "immaterial". That's when these immaterial ideas started showing up. The bible, whether OT, or NT, does NOT talk about "soul" or "spirit"! Those are just extensions of a Non-Jew named Aristotle rehashed and reinvented so man could teach an afterlife to the curious. By the way, I learned this from a learned Jew.
Biblically speaking, there is nothing in the bible about God being "supernatural". God will always be subjected to what He has made which means He is also NOT Omni. God is preternatural with the highest authority of command.
Biological life is breathing in O2 and breathing out CO2. Biblical life is about living the party that I have been living for decades with out fear, shame or guilt. Yet, I had to get out of the handcuffs and prison of theology to find it. In order to get out of that prison I had to go back to the bible and reread in the autographed languages. In doing so, theology and all religion has been trashed by me using the bible.
Now you know why I'm on Atheist Forums and not Christian Forums. Believe or not, they called me a blaspheming, lewd heretic! OFD--Oh Fuckin' Darn!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
