Do dogs have souls too? They're not just soil; they move. So do halibut, slugs, okapi, kangaroos and fleas. Do they all need souls to make them move around?

Don't forget banana plants, you're not telling me those leathery berried radioactive bastards have souls.

If your sole criterion is that there is no god, then please tell us what makes you, who is alive, different from someone who is dead inside a coffin or in the cemetery.

Electrochemical processes in a complex network of evolved living cells of diverse types, maintained by inputs of oxygen, water and foodstuffs.

That's all. I do not think that there is any more to it than that.

I do not believe in a "soul," particularly since My consciousness mysteriously vanishes when I go to sleep at night, and reappears when brainwave activity comes back up to "awake" level.

Where am "I" when I'm not awake and not dreaming? Nowhere in particular.

Where do "I" expect to be when My body finally packs it in? Nowhere in particular. I believe in eternal life, though... As My component atoms, constantly aggregating into new forms.

 

[Astreja]

I think a man may talk like a woman but it is very hard for a woman to speak like a man.

I beg to differ. I have a vocal range of about 3½ octaves (C below middle C to the G 2 octaves above Middle C), and over the years have preferred to work on songs made famous by male vocalists. I've also imitated Frank Oz Muppets (e.g., Cookie Monster) so well that I've had people's mouths drop open in amazement. ("Is that her?")

It's very simple for someone with vocal training to drop into a coarse chest voice, and it could easily sound like a man by comparison if one also affects a high, lilting voice as one's "normal" voice.

Oh, and for quite some time now there have existed digital electronic devices which can do real-time transposition of a voice up or down any span of notes one desires.

As for the gestures... Easily explained as acting.

PC, have you asked your guru what she will do after the Olympics are complete and WWIII has not started? Does she say she will renounce the god she channels?

Not last night, but the night before
24 robbers came knocking at my door
As I ran out
They ran in.
I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said:
Spanish dancer turn around
Spanish dancer touch the ground
Spanish dancer give a high kick
Spanish dancer get out before you miss.

Works for me. George thought so too.

There is no god but Aten and Carlin is His prophet?

I will be here even after 07-18.

For the third time now: PC, what makes you think you will survive the coming Apocalypse? Why should you be among the lucky one-third?

Right. Just as I predicted; magic.

Is that magic? The spirit is just logical, isn’t it? How do you explain why you are alive and another person is dead?

With regards to your question if dogs have souls, they don’t. I learned this from the Holy Spirit. Only man has soul, that is why in Genesis 2:7, it says “man became a living soul”. Dogs have spirits, and so are other plants and animals, but not soul.

Just think of flying birds and their spirit is taken. What happens? They just mysteriously and inexplicably dropped to the ground dead en masse. And this puzzled even the scientists and said that the cause is unknown. This happened in Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Chile, Canada, and Italy from 2010-12 to 2011-01.

What makes me think that I will “be among the lucky one-third”? Although the Holy Spirit did not specifically say that I “will survive the coming Apocalype”, I believe I will because I live far from the city center or military installation where most of the casualties will come from due to being hit directly by nuclear blast. Smoke will kill many people (and animals, including pets) even though they are far out because they will inhale the gaseous fumes which are toxic. So to prevent smoke from coming into my house, I bought door stoppers and tapes (masking, clear, and duct tapes). And there are prophecies that He told me that have not been fulfilled yet.

You didn't answer the question as to whether something that is alive but is not human has a soul and if not, why not. But, in any case, if your holy spirit is proved wrong, as it increasingly looks like he will be, whatever you learned from "him" you will have to dismiss, unless you accept the teachings of false prophets.

But your Stupid Spirit's prediction is that there will only be one man surviving for every 10 women, so there must obviously be something much greater than just "smoke" or "gaseous fumes" acting on humanity. Your tyrannical God must hate men, for him to kill most of them.

And your door stoppers and tapes cannot stop him.

@SezMe, #964

No, I did not ask Ka Apaz, the blind woman who the Holy Spirit appropriates, what she will do after the 2012 Olympic Games are completed and WWIII has not started. You are assuming that the prophecies revealed by the Holy Spirit will not happen. My question to you: if you survive the nuclear holocaust and the revelations come true, what will you do? Will you believe in the Holy Spirit?

 

[SezMe]

I am, indeed, making that assumption. And I already answered your question.

Are you in daily - or at least routine - contact with Ka Apaz? If so, please ask her the question.

May I step in here PC as an interested observer?

You seem to have overlooked the effects of radiation. This passes through doors, gaffer taped or not, very easily. You will require an underground bunker with a few tons of earth piled on top to prevent the effects of ionising radiation. You will probably need to stay under ground for several weeks with a good supply of food and fresh water to survive. Smoke and toxic fumes will be the least of your problems.

I suggest that you read up on Wikipaedia the effects of the comparatively very tiny atomic bombs dropped on Japan in WWII to get at least an inkling of what will happen to you, and your friends and family, when a 20 mega H Bomb is detonated in your vicinity.

May I suggest that you stop wasting time by visiting your blind lady, and start digging NOW. There is not a moment to lose.

Really, peace crusader, you went out and spent real money on tape (which would be of absolutely no use as protection from a nuclear blast), based on these "predictions"? A fool and his money are soon parted, so they say.

The predictions will not come true, the voice that is speaking 'through' the medium is not a holy spirit. Don't waste any more money.

Coles4104



No, the spirit isn't logical. It's just a label. You ask what indefinable something makes living things live, and call it 'spirit'. That doesn't explain anything, it just names something you imagine to exist and can't define. What about a slightly simpler question: what makes one fire burn when another has already gone out? Do the ashes lack 'spirit'?

With regards to your question if dogs have souls, they don’t. I learned this from the Holy Spirit. Only man has soul, that is why in Genesis 2:7, it says “man became a living soul”. Dogs have spirits, and so are other plants and animals, but not soul.

So now you have labelled two indefinable things you imagine to exist - spirits and souls. It doesn't take us any further forward than just saying animals walk around because they contain magic 'walking-aroundness'.

Just think of flying birds and their spirit is taken. What happens? They just mysteriously and inexplicably dropped to the ground dead en masse. And this puzzled even the scientists and said that the cause is unknown. This happened in Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee...

What you have there is not a mystery of nature, it is a phenomenon of the way news is reported. Mass deaths of birds or fish are not uncommon, but are rarely reported. One widely-report case of a curious incidence recently led to news people worldwide seeking out and reporting other instances, which created an entirely false impression of an unusual rash of such cases. Although any individual case may not have a clear explanation you should not assume they are generally inexplicable. You should certainly not leap to assume that flocks of birds are zapped in mid-flight by some weird spirit-stealing magic spell. That, to put it kindly, assumes a large number of facts not in evidence.
