Life after death?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Whether or not something is true does not depend on whether or not someone knows about it.
The occurence past event can not stop being true.

If I wanted to go all out philosophical, I could argue otherwise. The past may linger in our memories, but it is no longer true.

Actually, our memories aren't even accurate in recording past events. We pretty much reconstruct these events every time we recall them.

We live in the past because everything we think or do is based on what happened, even if it was just a second ago. The present is gone in a nanosecond and we can't live in the future because it hasn't arrived.

By that logic, the Sun did not rise this morning.

"Soul" is already taken, by the church. Besides, there are other, better names. "Personality" is a good one. "Character" is another. Using one that's religiously charged in general terms is kind of counter productive.

Of course, throwing around the word "soul" with atheists is never a good idea for an actual discussion.
But neither religious nor anti-religious sentiment changes the word's definiton.
