Love this Harris quote -
Quote:What we’re being asked to consider is that you damage one part of the brain, and something about the mind and subjectivity is lost, you damage another and yet more is lost, [but] you damage the whole thing at death, we can rise off the brain with all our faculties in tact, recognizing grandma and speaking English!
Yes, yes, yes.
This is such a striking point that even many of us have brought it up here repeatedly. In other words, what good is an immortal soul if nothing useful is attached to it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
