We appear to be moving into a religious debate, my mistake I guess. Perhaps I'm
a dreamer, however, from where I am, it's you that's in a
night-mare!
You ask and answers: "Are we just big bags of minerals
and water?
No."
Yes we are, which become obvious the moment we
die.
Again I disagree. Having just unexpectedly lost a close
personal friend, it's perhaps a touchy subject. His legacy and effect on his
environment are still measurable and will be for a long time to come. However, I
think your statement is more to do with the nature of a
soul.
Belief doesn't matter, what is matters.
To me,
this is an oxymoron. If people believe something, that belief on it's own is a
manifest thing. Even if you don't believe the same, that belief has a measurable
impact on the world.
Personally I'm not religious, either the holy book type or
the atheist type :-)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
