Queso Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 hey welcome to hypography. i have to argue and say that soul is all in how you look at it, and is pretty much just an opinion. but no...i do not believe in the entity-like soul that religion claims we have. no-sir-ee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokinjoe9 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hello! I'm sure some (if not all) of you will agree that there is no god. There is also no soul. I disagree with both statements. I believe there is both, but not in the traditional Bible thumping way. What is a soul, what is a God, what is an alien and how do you find out..

I look forward to posting my discussions with you on various topics. Really, if someone from a wierd cult walked up to you and asked you to sign a paper in blood giving your soul to them for five bucks, would you do it?

GreekTTC Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 ...does it have to be a god? Does it have to be an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent *thing*. What about just a supremely intelligent being who figured out how to create these funny little creatures that think by blending together some common household items? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learnin to learn Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 To know if we really have a soul, we must first understand exactly what on is! (what is a soul?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 soul. let's say the eye was an organism all by itself. everything the eye does revolves around sight. therefore, the eye's soul would be sight. i like to think that music is my soul, i am constantly counting in my head, and tapping with my fingers when i'm not directly listening to it. i find music in senses that are not auditory, and it is my true passion. what i love. if we work with/at our souls, they will live on through LEGACY. NOT AFTERLIFE.after-life is pureply metaphorical. yes, this is my opinion. but i believe it was aristotle who said the eye/soul analogy. p.s. tormod i don't know how you do it! i've been here 7 months and already the constant cycle of theistic arguments are making me nautious.

I never thought of my soul in that way. I have just heard some people say our soul is what seperates us from other animals. orbsycli what kind of music do you like?

Harzburgite Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 By the way, what is the Raelian Movement ?This is the fundamental belief: HUMAN SCIENTISTS FROM ANOTHER PLANET CREATED ALL LIFE ON EARTH USING DNA.Here are some extracts from http://www.rael.org/rael_content/index.php "On the 13th of December 1973, French journalist Rael was contacted by a visitor from another planet, and asked to establish an Embassy to welcome these people back to Earth.He told Rael that:"We were the ones who designed all life on earth""You mistook us for gods" "We were at the origin of your main religions" "Now that you are mature enough to understand this,we would like to enter official contact through an embassy"The messages dictated to Rael explain that life on Earth is not the result of random evolution, nor the work of a supernatural 'God'. It is a deliberate creation, using DNA, by a scientifically advanced people who made human beings literally "in their image" -- what one can call "scientific creationism." References to these scientists and their work, as well as to their symbol of infinity, can be found in the ancient texts of many cultures.

Queso Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 learnin to learn, i love all kinds of music. i like to think my favorite kind is progressive psychedelic jazz, though. i don't know who would fall into this catagory, but when i jam with my friends it's what we end up playing. I MELT ALL OVER THE FLOOR i have no idea why i am still solid ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learnin to learn Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Lol... I like the old old old old country and bluegrass... back in the days when Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs were still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleAl Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Religion causes people to voluntarily part with aggregate vast sums of money and dedicate their lives under the control of others. Uncle Al likes positive cashflow and effortless impressed hegemony unto the polity. The trick is to be in management not labor. If you needed a lot of stone cold atheists in a hurry, the first place to look would be the Vatican City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queso Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 uncle al, i am curious as to why you would say that? i am not going against what you are saying at all, i just don't understand why the vatican city would be a place where a lot of atheists roam?

Kizzi Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Someone once said to me the soul is the lifeforce within the body. When you die the soul (lifeforce) is no longer there, its gone! What then is the spirit? Maybe the spirit is the TYPE of lifeforce, maybe good spirit, maybe bad spirit. :xx: Kizzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
