Until science has verified the existence of a 'soul' whose life is
independent of that of the body, it is merely myth that
(1) anyone has anything like a soul at all, and
(2) that such a soul could survive the death of the body in which it
allegedly resides.

The body is detectable, the alleged soul is not, so its existence at all
is purely a matter of faith, like the one common faith in a flat Earth
or in the Earth-centered univers.e

As far as anyone can prove, death is the end, and when life ends what
remains is without life.

King James Version (KJV)
John 3 16 �For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.

Which certainly implies that whosoever does not �believeth in him� WILL
perish when their bodies perish and not be available for any alleged
eternal "hell".

And there is as yet no objective physical evidence that even that
promise of "everlasting life" is not a con.

# The whole basis of supernaturalism is "spirituality": the idea that when a
person dies, his/her "spirit/soul" leaves the body, and migrates to heaven
or hell or wherever.
This is the Phlogiston theory of Religion: it is based on a
misunderstanding.
Modern Science claims that a person's "last breath" is merely the
exhaling of CO2, before the material body breaks down, and ceases to
function as a self-sustaining entity.
There is no spirit or soul, and the human ego is but a manifestation of
brain activity.
When you are dead, you are dead: that's it.
So, while the Eternal Life Insurance industry may claim otherwise,
nobody has collected on their lifelong Premiums (Policy maturing at death);
or, there is no evidence for it.
If Supernaturalism was part of the normal Business World it would be
prosecuted for fraud.
But no, it is Religion, and thus Sacred, and held in Awe.
There MAY be an Afterlife, but there's no stampede to the graveyard -
and even Suicide Bombers are doomed to disappointment.

I could argue that "you" don't exist at all.

But that would depend on what you mean by "you".

"You" is the person, the thoughts, the actions, the

Are you referring to the conscious "you" that possesses "free will"?

No. Free will is an illusion.

I refer to what makes the person. Their thoughts, feelings, emotions,
sense of being, etc.

Care to explain? I remember one experiment with flies.
They tried to find out formula which can predict direction
of flies flying, but failed. Result was that fly has
free will (not automata).

How can "you" be sure your thoughts, feelings, emotions, sense of

Then how can you argue that free will is an illusion?

After all, to the vast majority of people free will is as real to them
as your thoughts, feelings, emotions, sense of being, and that
etcetera are to you.

If you were in debt, and worried, then found a wallet with the money
you needed and more, would you use that money to clear your debt (and
enjoy the rest) or would you hand it in at the nearest police station?

You have no proof at all about what happens to the memories within our brains
when we die.
Biblically, (New Testament) the spirit lives on to stand before God our Creator
and to be judged by Him as to what we did about His Son, Jesus Christ;
whether we believed in Him and had followed His will for our lives
ie. whether we have sought to do good to others
as we had placed our trust in Him.
1 Corinthians 3 : 11 - 15
For other foundation can no (wo)man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ. Now if any (wo)man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble (ie signifying the quality of the deeds)
every (wo)man's work shall be be made manifest; for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by fire,
and the fire shall try every (wo)man's work of what sort it is.
If any (wo)man's work abide which (s)he has done, (s)he shall receive a reward.
If any (wo)man's work shall be burned, (s)he shall suffer loss;
but (s)he shall be saved yet so as by fire (through faith in Jesus Christ).

You are correct as far as the human physical body is concerned. However,
when you die--your spirit body will end up in heaven or in hell.

Your best option is to become a Christian so that you will end up in
heaven when you die.

Even non-Chistians believe that people have spirit bodies or souls. I once
was a fan of a television show that I believe was called GHOST WHISPERER.
God and heaven were NEVER mentioned but they showed on a regular
basis--spirit bodies leaving people when they died.

However, it proved that even lots of non-christians believe that people
have spirit bodies inside their physical bodies and that the spirit bodies
leave their physical bodies when they die.

When brain activity ceases everything that makes "you" ceases.

You missed the point. Even lots of non-christians believe that people have
spirits and souls.

The American Indians believed it--even before any Christian missionaires
arrived in America. They would place dead bodies on one story platforms so
it would be easier for their souls to make it to heaven.

That is correct. For example, even if millions of people are advocates of
socialism--it does not it an excellent form of government.

Let's say that a twin brother had a heart attack and dies. The other twin
brother does not have a heart attack.

The only major difference between them is that one has his spirit body
inside of him and the other twin brother has his spirit body in heaven or
in hell.

I have even heard doctors make this statement about dead bodies--The
spirit has left them.

Evidence from many different religions that have a belief in spirit bodies
and/or souls. Many of them such as American Indians were isolated from
members of other religions when they developed their beliefs.

God speaks not only to Christians and Jews but has also spoken to the
members of many other religions such as American Indians and Africans that
lived in rain forests or near rain forests.

Various authors have written books comparing hundreds of various religious
beliefs--they have lots of things in common such as beliefs in souls or
spirit bodies. They also believe in heaven and in God or Gods.

It's not by chance--I believe that God has talked to the religious leaders
of various religions over the years.

That is your judgement, Barry. You have taken it upon yourself to change
the Christian teachings

John 5 : 22 Jesus said, The Father...has committed all judgement to the Son (ie Jesus)
Hebrews 9 : 27 And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement
Jude 14(b), 15, 18, The Lord comes....to execute judgement upon all,
and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds
which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him... that ...there should be mockers in the last time, who (would) walk after their own ungodly lusts.

You have taken it upon yourself to change the format of your posts

Maybe I should follow your lead and ignore everything you post.

Wrong! It was considered to be a great honor to be the one sacrificed!

Which illustrated the stupidity of theist religions.

He did not ask for evidence of relgious belief. We already have masses
of evidence for that you do not need to provide more examples.

Unsupported claims like this are usually dismissed.

"The weight of evidence for an extraordinary claim must be
proportioned to its strangeness."
attributed to Pierre-Simon Marquis de Laplace (1749-1827), a French
mathematician and astronomer

Again you were not ask for evidence of belief.

>It's not by chance--I believe that God has talked to the religious leaders
>of various religions over the years.

Evidence or statements of belief is not what was asked for.

If you claim there are gods or spririts and you wish us to accept
these claims then we will require supporting evidence.

Always remember this good advice from the bible:

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
- 1 Thessalonians 5:2

Since you failed (did not even bother) to even try do this your
claims, that there are gods and spririts are hereby dismissed.

Good grief! Does he mumble or something? Is that why no two religions
have the same set of dogma?

I most certainly have objective evidence. The only man to go there and come

I agree with your last point. If there is a heaven--Christians and Jews
have a lot better chance of getting to heaven--than any atheists.

Which sons and daughters of God will go to heaven? The people on the earth
that already consider God to be their father.

I see... your "objective" evidence is hearsay of someone else's
subjective "evidence". You don't see a problem with that? Of course
you don't... that's what makes you you.

Riiiight. Because God only cares whether or not you believe in him,
not whether you're a good person or not.

God's cares about his children--not the people that are not his children.
Of course, they can become children of God--see John 3:16.

Why? You preach a nasty, evil, sociopathic god. Why would a kind god
look upon you any better than on someone who cares about what is
actually happening, not delusions of a better life after death?

That is not objective evidence.

You think the practising Jews have as much Christians? By that
reasoning you'd have to include the Muslims as well.
