Pull your soul out and show it to me. Or an X-ray of it. Or an EEG showing it.


Right after you pull your consciousness out and show it to us. Or an X-ray of it. Or an EEG showing it.

What? You can't? Guess you have no consciousness.

That's a very silly statement laz. Can you pull out a moral, can you x-ray a principle? I have no experience with ghosts and goblins. I have experience with self. I am quite aware of aspects of self that are not X-ray-able. I am quite aware of aspects of social existence that do not show up on an EEG. It means nothing when discussing things beyond the temporal, except that they exist on different terms.

You are reverting to spotting athiest sound bites. Are you copying and pasting them from anti-religious tracts? I know you as an intelligent and principled man who would resent a religious person spouting scripture that they don't back up with rational explanations of their pertinence to the life we live. Why are you behaving in a way that you would object to if someone else were doing it?

"Why not assume ghosts and goblins too? They make as much sense."

Yes...they exist in the same arena of sophistic speculation.
