Why is this thread continuing?
Seriously, the bottom line is "we" do not have "spirits" and there is no "mind" or "soul". The OP is merely trying to drag all of us into his woo.
When the brain dies, YOU DIE. That is it. The more we coddle their fantasies the more they try to pull "AH HA" garbage.
This is merely human ignorance in refusing to face one's finite existence. It is merely a psychological anthropomorphic reflection of the "fight" mechanism in evolution. I is literally "Dawkin's moth". If a bad guess gives us comfort, and gets us to the point of reproduction, the delusion isn't real, but the placebo can work as a coping mechanism.
THOUGHTS ARE NOT PHYSICAL DUMB ASS! ANY MORE THAN SPEED IS PHYSICAL.
It is not our fault that you do not want to face that when your brain dies you die.
Brain=car
Thoughts=speed, car in motion
If the engine breaks down or explodes and is beyond repair the car cannot speed.
It is not any more complicated than that.
Grow up!

well my position hasn't changed from my first post in this thread, you've been to Timbuktu and back, picking up a fuel system on the way! You still haven't given any indication as to whether you think abstract concepts are physical or non-physical, you equated thought with abstract concepts, so are thoughts physical or non-physical in your opinion? Now that you have clearly differentiated thought from the process that physically occurs.
