And you're missing the point. Again. I'm not trying to prove the religious concept of the soul to you, just pointing out that there's more to the Christian arguments than you read in Chick Tracts growing up. You're such a sniveling projecting twat. and a liar as well...You can take nearly every one...

You still haven't demonstrated that your conclusion is the result of rational examination rather than blind faith. Ignorance of the positions you disagree with is not a badge of honor. Actually, the reverse the case. I simply don't hold reverence for the same drab tired stories you cling to. I see ...

Turd, You do realize at a certain point in Western Civ, it would have been incredibly rare for anyone with the basic education necessary for rational discourse to be anything other than a priest, rabbi or imam? The contortions needed to stitch our modern body of knowledge back to it's initial adher...

This thread highlights why using faith as a benchmark for discourse. The faithful across this board fail to recognize no one needs play with their particular franchised tar-baby. Produce evidence of your notion or jog the fuck on. Absent any evidence and any methodology for investigating, experimen...

Yeah, I do. I think we all have something near to whatever your definition of a soul is. And this is about as mystical as you'll ever hear me get. Because I tell stories for a living, I've spent a lot of time thinking about the concept of story. On those occasions where I'm paid to teach writing, I...

There are lots of questions that cannot be answered in the scientific way. An example from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - what's quality? Everyone knows what it is yet it is difficult to precisely define it. From A Guide For The Perplexed by Schumacher: what makes things alive and/or c...

You used God and reasoning. In the same paragraph...Jog the fuck On. If you'd have just said... I think this, believe it and I require it to be true for me.. ..Fine. Believe what you will. It's not reason, it's not rational but many fine things are not. I have an irrational desire to drive vehicles ...

It seems that one of your core premises is that Jews and Papists are uncomfortable with science and the scientific method. Am I right on that? This Jew is particularly stupid for one. As you have often pointed out, papal teaching is more accepting of the scientific method. testis demolition of HH i...

"For me... I just feel like ....souls need to be real so my cultural nursery rhymes make sense..." Where is it? What's are its properties? Gas, semi solid? How old is it, did it exist before you, what's its half life after your meatsuit expires? Is it intrdimensional? How many dimensions ...

I don't see the point in getting lathered over Gorsuch. There's plenty to disagree with him on politically if you want to but he's clearly a principled and qualified jurist.

Bunch of bitch-ass nihilists...all, y'all....

Slow your roll tinkerbell. The most amusing thing is how clunky and uncharitably you attempt to summarize points you cannot disagree with but wish you could. If it's unclear to you what I disagree with perhaps you're simply not reading the words. I'm only pointing out that very point...we only know ...

Do you think/know/suspect you have a soul? Why? I don't think so based on lack of any evidence. I am certainly open to evidence but likely couldn't view it without think it was bat shit crazy. That being said I used to believe a soul was a real thing because so many other people believed so how cou...

Such the typical response from you. restate the terms of question, restate the nature of "success" in answering it. You've made no argument, you believe what you believe regardless of evidence. I would have expected nothing less. As to intellectual superiority, those are your words, not mi...

If your worldview isn't empiricism, you can take all sorts of thing into account into figuring out how to make sense of the world. No...You create a compelling narrative that shapes human behavior in a way you like...But you've made significantly less factual sense of the world than the the cave pa...

I wasn't questioning that you believe because you're afraid of what may happen to you if you don't. I was questioning the basis for thinking the odds of your belief being true are good in the absence of any material evidence to support it. How do you find material evidence of something which is, by...
