    Death After Life vs Death Before Life

    I didn't exist long before I was born and similarly I will not exist after I die. At least that's what many people on this forum think. If so, does it mean that the nonexistence before I was born (let's name it nonexistence 1) the same thing as the nonexistence after my death (let's name it...

    Does the Soul Exist?

    A person appears to be something more in reality than physical brain processes, since it has a soul. The soul appears to be a real, nonmaterial phenomena distinct from the brain and the world's physical elements. Since the soul is immaterial, to know it directly might be possible only...

    What Is The Soul?

    The Hebrew nephesh and the Greek psykhe both mean a person or animal or the life which the person or animal enjoys. In a basic literal sense the soul is the blood of any living creature and in a more figurative sense it is the life of or the person or animal itself. The soul dies, it is...

    When does an embryo / fetus become human, and why?

    Since many people who are religious consider abortion to be murder, they must consider the embryo being aborted a human being. So my question is: When, during the pregnancy, does the embryo become a human being? If someone answers that it happens at conception, I'd like to know how a single...

    Automatons

    I'm struggling with the ramifications of being an atheist. If there's no soul and no afterlife, does that not make us cell-based automatons, going through the motions with the illusion that we're making decisions? What are your thoughts?

    Does the soul exist?

    I've been becoming more skeptical lately, but one of those ideas I've been having trouble with letting go of is the soul, mostly because it is a really scary idea that there may be no soul. For those who used to believe in such, how did you come to think that there is no soul? I really have no...

    Man sells his soul to Hell (Pizza) for $3,800

    It appears a New Zealand man sold his soul to Hell Pizza. See the story here. It seems the soul-selling was to be in jest, but some people complained, and the online auction was removed.

    [Split Thread] Do you have a soul?

    I was thinking about this post from Shadow's thread about whether you would pray if you were dying, and I wanted to address a new topic. Let's suppose, completely hypothetically, that there is something called a 'soul'. It can be identified and defined by modern science and is found in...

    G: Tell me in which way something can be a unity and divisible at the same time. B: That's easy. I'm one and also divisible, since I am subject to physical and biological laws that effect me. G: When you say "I am divisible", do you mean that many "I" belonging to you are divisible, or that...

    I Am Soul

    I Am Soul For most of us, the ‘who’ and ‘what’ we identify with, is the Human Instrument. “I Am” in this light, is about being the human form. Male/Female – skin colour (ethnicity/culture) and from these concepts, within the structure of the human instrument, from emotion, from intellect and...

    Am I the atoms that make me?

    A question has been bugging me lately. I am an agnostic/atheist, and don't really believe in a soul or an afterlife. But if there is no soul, I wonder why I have this subjective experience. I think the brain is probably what is having this experience, but what part of the brain? Are the atoms...

    question re skeptics

    Hi there, I'm wondering about skeptics in general - are you all atheists? Is it possible to be a skeptic and beleive in a soul? Do you have to beleive in God to beleive in a soul (guess that one's not really pertinent to skepticism). I understand this is not an atheist organization and I'm...

    Define "Soul"

    Forgive me if this has already been covered. How would you define the "soul"? One of the more common definitions that I have encountered is, "that which lives on after death". It has also been described to me as the object that holds the knowledge of right and wrong and again as one’s...

    Is It Possible There Is An Afterlife?

    I am writing this to challenge James Randi’s solid belief that there is no afterlife. At least, I read an article that indicated to me he believes that there is no afterlife. I believe it is possible there can be an afterlife. I don’t know whether or not there is, but it could be possible and I...

    Would you sell your soul for $1,000,000?

    The other week, I was watching Tales from the Darkside on the Sci Fi channel. In the episode 'I'll Give You A Million' had Keenan Wynn buying an atheist friend's soul for one million dollars; of course, the friend tries to get it back, the Devil shows up, etc. etc. My question is, if someone...

    Do We Have a Soul?

    Yes, the fact is, there is nothing about us which doesn't entail belief. Think about it. When we're all dead and gone, will it still be possible to believe that we're still alive? Not in this world anyway. :D In which case we have to ask, who is it that did all this believing? And, where did...
