On Theism & Immaterial Minds

[FallentoReason]

Not a theist but trying to follow what you are arguing:

Suppose there is an immaterial mind - just one.

Suppose it is decanted into separate containers (brains) where is starts to act, to a greater or lesser extent, as an individual. Obviously this is an illusion of our state of being.

It also stands to reason that the larger the container (the brain) the larger the amount of immaterial mind that could be held within it. This means that lower orders of animals can only contain a tiny amount whilst we, in general, can hold rather more.

That we don't seem to find ants who are great philosophers but useless at getting food or looking after the young or what have you implies that the decanting of the single mind into the individual follows some kind of need basis. Self preservation instincts come first, then the breeding instinct and so on. If the container fills with this much mind in it the single mind then starts decanting into the next.

So far so good. Now we can get into the actual argument:

God will judge only those individuals whose "container" is big enough such that the individual is "self-aware". These individuals happen to be the ones born into the human species. Judgement awaits us and not those individuals that were born as e.g. ants. It's an extremely unfair treatment of immaterial minds that seem a priori equal when not incarnated into a physical body.
