Great. Using that definition of "soul" I'm still not convinced it exists. However, that definition of "mind" is far more tangible. It's an epiphenomenon wherein the sensory data coalesces resulting in the entity that seems to be piloting the body.

I guess you just have to ask yourself "who is defining what?".

Hasn't not been considered before. It's actually the whole premise of Christianity to be honest. Abandoning God to find a better way. But there is hope. The only thing you have to do is believe that Christ died for you so you don't have to do anything really.. It's all on you though. Do what you want, I'm the very last person to judge you.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Yep. That's why I asked for clarification.

Your thoughts?

we sat and prayed,
third stone around the sun.
and as we fly
we hear a cry,
we'll never be immortal."

I'm the last person to ask.

I only have power over what I do/define.



Ask Obama or Ben Bernanke why the things that are, are.

Well, I was talking to you, so I was curious what definition you were working with. Seems like you were the first person I should have asked.

Why do these types of conversations tend to come apart atthe seams and become super unsatisfying?

As I was logging into the shroomery I was thinking about my own mortality, and I was actually going to make a thread asking how often one thinks of their own mortality.  When I saw this thread it kind of threw me for a loop.

I completely have empathy for you OP as I feel the same. Weird how I was just heading to my meeting earlier talking to my roommate about us dying one day. I haven't excepted that yet. I mean I know it's gonna happen. But the thought of not being on earth anymore is very strange.. billions have came and live. Billions were born and never existed before and now they are in another place. But I feel like i've always been here which is not the case because I was only born in 1989.

I think all of us wake up in the morning with the slightest clue that we are going to die.. any day could be ours. So we make plans.. we plan on being here for years.. but it's a lie. One thing we need to do is be grateful and enjoy our lives while they last because they are so short. People died today.. they are gone.. we are still blessed to be here. Amen.

If you're pissed off at someone today, or hold grudges. Ask yourself this. Why are letting someone live rent free in your head? Be compassionate. Be humble. People remember your kindness. I really wish I could help everyone in this world who is suffering right now. When I die, I want people to remembered for how many people I helped. Not for anything else.

Hey Shae, Are you still doing that hand thing? I heard you was doing that hand thing today. Oh God what is that?!
