The thing that people tend to forget are the thousands of religions that came before Christianity. What is religion? I believe it is a warm-cozy belief (with all due respect) to make life easier to live. If you take a history book and read from the earliest recorded history, you will see the many gods, and goddesses that people worshiped and felt good about. The Sun was worshipped for it's warmth and lifeforce.

Now, thousands and thousands of generations later, it has gradually evolved to the religions that we see today. And it will continue to evolve further.

Roman soldiers worshipped Minerva before going to battle...they believed she watched over them as they battled. Now, we know what gods modern soldiers worship, no?

The "soul" concept is one of the most ignored and most overlooked.

It just seems to odd that our souls would simply dissapear.


It is obvious that the soul is your conscience...the self-aware notion of your own self. I used to find it odd too but if you try to understand it carefully and think it through, you would gain a better understanding. You would realize that this "soul" is related to your brain growth and memory.

Where were our "souls" the minute after we were born? Nowhere! We can't even recall ourselves being alive. But as our brain developed and our body grew as the years went by, we gained this sense of conscience...that we are alive. This clearly shows that our conscience (called as the "soul" by some people) is DIRECTLY related to our physical body...i.e the development of the brain and other bodily functions.

So, having said that, it is perfectly rational to say that this conscience, our self-awarness, or "soul" ceases to exist after the brain stops to function at death.

I highly doubt a grown-ass spirit form of us would jump out of our physical bodies the moment we die and go on to the gates of heaven to be judged! That is simply irrational and needs to be proven? I will stop there.

In my educated opinion, just as we were "nothing" before we were conceived, death will reduce us to exactly that: nothing.

And people who feel that is a depressive view really need to find a good woman to love and be glad they are alive. Thumbs Up
