Real Shit...
 

Do you believe in having a Soul?

And where do you think it's located in your body?

2 part question... Legit question and I'm curious...

@Ghost1 - I know you read a lot of Spiritual Books and Psych shit, has anything of this nature ever been discussed in one of your readings?

@veritas - same with you?

@uh-oh - you seem to have a interesting some what intelligent perspective on any type of conversation discussed here...

@Knucklehead - same as above...

and of course my main man, @Destroyer - I know you don't believe in GOD or Jesus or w/e but I'd like your thoughts as well, man...

Lol

It’s not physical so I’m pretty sure it’s located everywhere and nowhere at the same time

I understand it's not physical but neither are thoughts.

And thoughts come from the brain. I mean I believe we have souls but I'm not exactly sure where it would come from or where it really stems from... Like do souls even exist?

If our thoughts actually exist IN our brain is a interesting question

Legitimately destroyed @ where is it in your body.

Jesus. Thank you for this Amen.

the mind (the soul) is separate from the brain

we have neurological evidence confirming this.

there are certain areas of the physical brain that are activated thru chemical processes during certain types of emotion...anger, empathy, depression.......etc but there is not a part of the brain or specific location of these chemical processes that can be attributed to the self............ like.......there is no part of my physical brain that can be seen to transmit the thoughts that I have about amen being a real life fagot.

drs describe experiments when they have manipulated the brain to force a patient to move their arm or leg......the patients response? "I didn't do that" what is "I" what is the self? these experiments prove at the very least that our minds(soul) do not consider physical brain functions to define who we are.............this separates the brain from the soul

beyond that we would delve into longwinded philosophical debates as to collective unconscious and the nature of spirituality...which is fine but I don't feel like doing that

so....yes the brain and mind are separate and no there is not a physical location in the body of the mind.....the mind is a non physical entity that resides within each human individual.....it is supernatural

and I shall stop there prior to russling destroyers agnostic jimmies

lol hes a real person. in life.

Where do you think, or do you know where the concept of the human soul originated from?

doesn't matter...some ancient philosopher determined the separation and gave it a name

we have science to prove its accuracy....the label is irrelevant to the definition

LOL thoughts about me being a real life faggot.

Don't computers pick up on brain activities tho? Like certain shit can be detected? For an example when they do w/e brain scans to study people sleeping and the activity going on while they sleep?

I am leaving.

I thought this was about gun bars

right....im saying I covered that....briefly...........but yes we have neurological evidence of brain activity that shows the chemical processes involved in physical functions and emotional states of being...........but there is not any type brain activity that has been identified that correlates to individual thoughts of identity...........we can see that portions of the brain are responsible for memory and speech and physical movement and maintaining our circulatory system etc but nothing indicates a functionality of the brain that is responsible for specific identity driven preferences............theres no portion or function of the brain that can explain why I like the NY Giants....yaknow

Gotcha.

So - my next question to you is, do you actually believe in having a soul? Or do you force yourself to believe in having one for religious or w/e reason?

I guess my question to u would be....did u read my posts at all?

Yes, I did.

I guess you kind of answered my question by not wanting to elaborate for Destroyers sake.

U are confusing the soul as being a religious concept because of religious claims to what becomes of the soul after physical death

I was kidding w Des... slightly...by labeling the mind supernatural

The fact remains that I don't need religion to prove the existence of the soul for me when science has done it

I don't force myself to believe anything....that's not belief that's willful ignorance

Science is not against Christianity .....as people have oddly decided in the last century.....we fucking invented science lol

I do not believe we have a soul

Some of us, maybe, but definitely not zelph or alvin karpis

If I can get u to entertain Christianity nfor only a moment.......

Just long enough to entertain the thought of zelph reaching heaven


Only to realize his lip is still cleft even in his soul.....loooooool

Its fucked because the soul is actually located in the upper lip.
