I am Immortal because my soul is..

Sure my physical body will expire but my spirit will never die and i believe this about all of us.

The essence of me, of all of us, is more significant than the flesh and bones that imprison it.

I truly believe that.

Good for you. I do not though.

Me either

Demonic spirits do posses some individulas, mabye that's why the both of you think your mortal and will turn to ashes and that's it.

Are you a troll? What sort of blithering lunatic would claim that people disagree with him because they're possessed by demons?

Kill yourself. Seriously. Take a shotgun, stick it in your mouth, and pull the trigger. If you're right, it won't matter.

I'd never kill myself. I'd kill you. With a smile,.. and then easily log onto K.M.C. with you user ID and password and have your ID banned for trolling the mod.

I'd want you to become a complete memory everywhere.

We are.

Wow, great debate going on here 🙂

I think you interpreted the post in a way that may not have been FistOfThe North' s intent Gregory.

For centuries, people have tried to answer the question of an immortal soul through philosophy and religion, but a definitive answer has yet to arise.

And yet he says he is immortal and then continues to call those that do not believe the same thing possessed by demons. Which may of course be true, but it leaves little room for discussion.

There's a limit to how much time I can bother to spend talking to someone like this (demon-possessed! My god!), but I've never understood the concept of the soul, and I never will. It's supposed to somehow be us, but it's noncorporal. A soul can't have memories, thoughts, or feelings by definition, because those are the product of our material brains. How can something without my memories, thoughts, or feelings be "me?"

It's a nonsensical concept, as far as I'm concerned.

Just as nonsensical as you sound to me, perhaps.

Do you have proof that souls can't have memories? That they are apart of our material brains, that souls have no memories, thoughts, or feelings.

I beg your pardon but the last time I looked, to have a soul, to be soulful, was to be all these things combined.

If I sound nonsensical to you, there is something wrong with you. You can disagree with me if you want, but that's not the same thing.

Proof that souls have no memories: a being cannot have memories without a nervous system.
Proof that souls have no nervous system: If you think souls are material, you hold a weird fringe belief. And anyway, why has a soul never been detected, if they are physical beings with nervous systems? And, furthermore, if they are physical beings with nervous systems, then it's silly to suppose they are immortal.

gregory use your imagination even if there isn't a soul its nice to think we'll live forever.I believe in a soul but people who don't AREN'T possesed by demons

maybe its like in the matrix where everybody is like a battery and thats what a soul is.... and our minds....

nah.

It might be the demons talking but I have never seen evidnce of a soul.

I don't just mean I've never literally seen a soul. I mean I've never heard of anything that would neccesitate me having a soul.

Prove 1.) that things such as souls exist, and 2.) that you, indeed have one.

If souls really are some magical mystical being that connect us to heaven then it really can not be explained...

Not that it matters, the existence of a real soul is far less important then what we actually believe it represents. If you believe in a soul then that's fine, if you don't that's fine as well. But believing in one and trying to better your life to clear your soul makes you a better person. Something that can because of that be directly attributed to your soul, so even if the soul doesn't exist it still does a lot of good things.

It's like God, only without the bad things happening.

The concept of a soul itself is difficult to define, because there have been so many different ideas as to what it really is.

I also believe we are immortal.
