Don't get me wrong, your beliefs about this are no more or less ridiculous, but your explanation for those beliefs is just silly. I'm not sure it's great marketing for the cause, either. Your gods gonna give everyone a lobotomy, that's the reward in heaven for being faithful to a ghostly asshole on earth?So what happens when the host body dies? Why would the Spiritual being still want what the host wanted? unless it was a measure to simply hate god? As a spiritual being what could you possible want other than what you were designed by God to do? and if God gave you that/put you in a role that would give you contentment and joy.. what else could you want?
Pass.
Who knows, it's your fairy tale, not mine. I don't see why spiritual beings couldn;t have wants, or why wanting the same things as a god, even, would mean that those weren't their wants.
Don't even need to invoke the great fairy to understand this one. Just because I allow my kids to do something, doesn't mean that they aren't doing it because they want to..and even when we both want the same things, they still seem to possess their end of our mutual appreciation. Don't get me wrong, great when it happens, but I generally have to work a little harder at getting agreement than your silly god....and I certainly handle it better when there's a disagreement, or when one of my kids simply wants something that I don't.
You say we lose that when we die, somehow, someway - I say fine, if so.....
Pass.
