"Know thyself"

RE: "Know thyself"
Quote:That is we are the same person no matter how much we change. Thinking deeply about this matter, you will realize, this must be due a soul existing and a creator preserving this soul identity, through time.

Before we are born we aren't a person at all, when we are born we become a person, when we die we usually rot and our bodies are eaten by other living animals or become nutrients in the soil.

So basically in this sentence you forgot to add that we are the same person from the time we are born until we die. And I would say that this is due to our brains and not our soul.

Quote:2) Our inheritance of actions.

Actions form a part of who we are, and this is more true the more praise and condemnation constitutes of that act. We inherit our actions.

Again a soul and a creator

I don't understand this.

Quote:3) The nature of good and evil, praise and condemnation.

This again requires a supernatural reality if we go beyond defining good and evil as simply beneficial and harmful, but go the root belief that there is light and darkness, that there is a lord of the rings or star wars type reality of good and evil, which seems to be the case.

Don't understand this, unless it is the horrible boring old argument that without god there can be no true morality in which case I'm too bored to respond to an argument back to this, at least for now.

Quote:4) Knowledge of free-will.

Having free-will is one thing, but knowing we are free, says there is something in us that is beyond physical formation, that let's us constantly know we have free-will.

Why does it say there is something in us beyond physical formation. We don't know we have free will a lot of people believe we don't have free will.
I don't know I have free will this could just be an illusion.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
