The "soul" stuff

Without the soul the body is just a bunch of matter which decomposes after the soul leaves it. If a person 'dies" and is brought back, he or she did not die in the first place. By what mechanism does it depart? Sparkling whisps of magic air? Is it trapped in our guts and comes flying out with our dying fart? Where physically does it go? At what point does it leave? At 51% of the brain cell's death or does it stick around for hours until the very last one dies? Do people who've been lobotomized by having their brain hemispheres split have two separate souls or just two halves of one soul? Since we are a multicellular organism, and our body lifespan is much older than our cellular lifespan, how do the dying cells pass on their little bit of soul to the next generation of cells? How does our brain tissue hold a soul when a chimpanzee's brain cannot. What is the cellular difference? We know our mind is electro-chemically controlled and can be altered easily by drugs, how do the drugs affect the soul? Do the mentally ill, and the comatose brain victims have a defective soul? How does one know this? When jesus said to search your kidneys, what did he mean by that? Was he saying that a good piss is a holy thing?

You waste so much time on meaningless blather. There's no substance to anything you said here. None of this has anything to to do with whether or not souls exist.

It's just poetic garbage to me at this point. The "soul" stuff

Fried chicken = soul food??

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

It is exactly because you can't answer them that you dismiss them. Liar.

All of the components of the chicken are still present except one thing. I call it life or the soul. (May 31, 2014 at 5:57 pm)Rampant.A.I. Wrote:(May 31, 2014 at 4:40 pm)Lek Wrote: Yes. Who knows? |
