But what logical reason do you have for this belief in a soul?
Much like my complete belief in God, teh divinity of Christ and the wonders of his teachings: I can feel it in my being, and can see it in the way I lead my life, and how I'm influenced to make the decisions that I do.
I don't need to do philosophical windbaggery to explain myself.

In other words, a leap of faith, in the truest sense of the phrase (Kierkegaard explained that an authentic christian faith was possible only through a leap of faith into the absurd, and it was this life-altering event that formed the core of a christian's being. Interestingly enough, God and the absurd are inseperable in his thought).
That 'philosophical windbaggery' is man's attempt at finding his truth.
Needless to say, you must admit, religious faith is unreasonable in a world that would seem to not permit a God in the bigger picture of things.
I could possibly see myself believing in a God (possible, but not likely). However, to tether oneself down to the teachings of some Jewish guy who lived thousands of years ago would be too much for me...

When did I ever claim to know everything about life? I only said that the idea of a soul is irrational. Your assertion was that I couldn't say that God doesn't exist without knowing everything in the Universe, and I rejected this notion (because it is absurd and an insult to reason). I gave you my reasons for believing so and countered your 'mystical' assertions. The only way you could justify your silly, primitive beliefs was with an appeal to human ignorance. If the only come-back you can offer now is by attacking my age instead of the assertions I presented (as if a person's age had anything to do with the legitimacy or illegitimacy of their ideas), then you really are pathetic

When I look back to when I was 18 or 19... I thought I knew it all but I really knew nothing at all. Trust me when I say you will meet many obstacles on your way and many challenges that will make you grow and look at things from a different angle, and I don't mean to sound like a wise ass here. It strikes me how ignorant I was when I was in my teens or even mid 20s, as opposed to now. But really, why do we even bother discussing this?
I love you regardless

I laughed so hard at Shad's post, but didn't want to post back, because I wanted Gato's reply. This satisfied my every need.
