There were a lot of jews in Poland before WW2. You can bet they betryed Poles while claiming to be Polish. It's a common theme with them.

religious and philosophical thought that says that the soul is incorporeal and doesn't interact with matter.

Where in the Bible does it say that?

If you said that the government was wiretapping your phone in 1999, everybody would have called you a nutjob.

Now if you say that the government is wiretapping your phone, no one cares.

How can Americans sleep at night now or look in a mirror without feeling disgusted and ashamed?

Bob, driving what he thought was just an old 1957 Chevy Bel Air, is actually piloting a sentient, intergalactic spaceship through the Milky Way when he gets into a cosmic road rage skirmish with a Martian in a levitating Prius over asteroid belt rights, leading to insults in alien tongues and his car morphing into attack mode with laser cannons. The skirmish culminates in a miscalculated turn around a black hole, crashing into a comet, and spiraling towards a cheese planet, when suddenly, a time-traveling, dimension-hopping alien cyborg named Zorx descends, pushes Bob into the magically expanding passenger seat, and takes the wheel, transforming the car into a quantum vehicle that exists in multiple realities at once, navigating through universes where cars fight for civil rights, roads are Möbius strips, and vehicles must sing opera to move, teaching Bob a wild, cosmic lesson about control, humility, and the unpredictable nature of existence.

It is a fact that Cain killed Abel. What did Cain do with his body? The Bible only says his blood was in the ground. Where did the flesh and bones go?


Genesis 4 KJV

8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

Go back to the car analogy. The driver of the car is involved in road rage, then a car accident. A man from outside the vehicle pushes the driver to another seat, gets in the car, and drives. The original driver is still there and it's his car, but someone else is at the wheel.

Two eyes, two ears, ... but ten fingers, ten toes, countless thousands of hairs, one nose, one mouth, one heart, one stomach, one penis/vagina, one large intestine, one small intestine, one gall bladder, one appendix, one liver, one bladder, either one or no prostate, one rectum, one mouth...

Why shouldn't there be one pineal gland instead of ten or two or a thousand?

When philosophers try to justify imaginary things, they come up with the worst horse-shit around.

suggest a better place for the seat of your soul?

What soul?

Or if you are a Taoist... which soul? There are three hun souls and seven po souls.

Why is that theory any more ridiculous than the concept that there is only one soul per person?

(Do conjoined twins have one soul between them, or do they have two souls in the one body?)

Where is the center of all your thoughts.... your ego.... your consciousness.... your self-awareness

We know that thoughts, consciousness etc are emergent traits from the brain. We know that animals have thoughts, they have consciousness, some of them even have self-awareness. Do they have souls?

You still have a physical body, don't you? When your physical shell falls away, your soul will no longer dwell in flesh.

When a clock runs down, or gets melted down into slag, where does the ticking go?

There must be an immortal clock-soul that lives on even after the physical shell of the clock falls away.

Question: Are you the car? Or are you the driver? Where does the driver sit?

Cars are not autonomous. Human beings are. People can climb in and out of cars, drive another car, come back and drive the first car again. The same person can drive a hundred different cars, and the same car can be driven by a hundred different people (not all at once, obviously). Are you sure that the soul to the body is like the driver to the car?

What is it like when your soul goes into another body, leaving your body soulless?

BTW, autonomous vehicles are now a thing. Although they're not very good right now, they will get better.

Since I believe Jesus Christ came to save souls, am I also in the occult?

Absolutely.

it could all be evolution, an idea you support, a claim based on "hidden knowledge" that is not accessible to us since none of us can verify it as fact.

Is today Opposite Tuesday?

Evolution is a fact which is verifiable and has been verified day after day after day. We can see evolution of fast-breeding organisms literally as we watch, in a matter of weeks or months. For slower-breeding organisms, it takes longer, but we can see the evolution of foxes to be more like dogs in real time under artificial selection, we have seen the evolution of traits in plants and animals over a period of years or decades under natural selection. There is nothing esoteric or hidden about evolution, it is right there in front of your eyes, for those who will open their eyes and see.

But belief in god? We can't see god. There is no objective evidence for god. The Christian religion even rejects evidence, claiming that the foundation of their religion is faith. We don't need "faith" to see evolution, we just need to pay attention.

Ultimately, the evidence for god boils down to "but there has to be a god, otherwise what's the point?" and "but I don't want it to be over when I die". Wishful thinking.

Which god? People have invented, out of pure imagination, thousands of gods. As a Christian, you rightly reject all the others as made-up stories, just as believers of other religions reject your god as obviously made-up (and often just a cheap copy of stories stolen from older religions).

The brain is just a soul-body interface

That's brave of you to go against centuries of religious and philosophical thought that says that the soul is incorporeal and doesn't interact with matter.

But since the brain is matter, if it interacts with the soul then the soul must be corporeal, and we should be able to isolate it, put it in a jar, weigh it, do experiments on it.

If the brain is a soul-body interface, we could make a soul-robot interface, put souls inside robots. Or a soul-teaspoon interface, and put a soul inside teaspoons.

Since the soul must be corporeal to interact with the matter of the brain, maybe your kidneys have souls too. Maybe worms have souls. Maybe stones have souls. Maybe every tiny dust particle has a soul. How do you know they don't?

Really? You're going to go for that? I thought you were smarter than that. The word canibal has absolutely nothing to do with the bible. The bible was not even written in english. Words that sound similar in english do not sound similar in hebrew.

To me this seems like making arbitrary determinations from inapplicable analogies, so I don't know how to answer that.

If I may pivot for a second, I have always wondered since brain damage can produce fundamental personality changes.... how could there be a separate soul at all? If the very core of who you are can be altered at the wetware level what purpose would be the soul be then if not your essence.

There's a history of esoteric Christianity, influenced by the mystery religions. Descartes was into this and used symbolism to attract those in the know, many secret societies did this. The Rosicrucians led to the invisible college to the royal society which newton led. These scientists and mathematicians didn't really believe in Christ, just used him as symbolism. They intended to shape the world themselves and achieve apotheosis, becoming a god themselves. We see them doing it today, elites trying to rule the world and using symbolism in the media to communicate with each other.

I don't like the idea of secrets, or joining a group and raising in ranks to be told a secret truth at the top level. They don't really know any secrets. It'll be like in Scientology where if you get to the top they tell you the "truth" that the alien xenu is in charge. The truth about Jesus is so simple really. Nothing secret about it. Occult means hidden or secret. It's similar to obscurantism in academia. They make things complicated and difficult to understand just to keep their jobs and appear to be doing something, and it's a fun game for students to try to solve the puzzle.

Here's an example. Jesus said no one knows the the day or hour of the end of the world. Except God. There's been many scam artists thru the years saying they knew tho. Isaac Newton, in his occult writings, calculated it to be in the year 2060. I think this was a reference to the age of Aquarius.

Since I believe Jesus Christ came to save souls, am I also in the occult? Isaac Newton believed Jesus was the Son of God and you say he was in the occult.

It could just be in the overall brain.

It could be this.... it could all be evolution, an idea you support, a claim based on "hidden knowledge" that is not accessible to us since none of us can verify it as fact. Perhaps we could say you are in the occult. On the topic of evolution, you are not speaking as a true scientist, but as a believer in mystical origins. It is insanity to reject God as our Creator. We have been lied to all our lives about the spiritual nature of our existence, so most do not realize they are insane, trapped in matter. How do you know if you are trapped in the occult?

You still have a physical body, don't you? When your physical shell falls away, your soul will no longer dwell in flesh.

Your questioning is similar to driving a car trying to find your way home in a far away land, and asking: Why do I need to be in a car?

What will you do? Get out and walk? Home is too far away! If you get out now, you will be lost. Keep driving until you get there! And then you might ask, Why can't I climb into the trunk of the car and drive from there? The steering controls are in the driver's seat!

Question: Are you the car? Or are you the driver? Where does the driver sit?
