Another brilliant responce from Articulett to Harvey Burnett
It's you-- the dualist who has a problem-- you need to show that consciousness can exist absent a material brain. If this is so, how do you know a rock isn't conscious or the wind or that there's not immaterial demons in your brain making you believe silly things?
Without a working hippo campus you cannot even form a new memory-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmzU47i2xgw&feature=related
What could you be with no brain at all? The answer is nothing. You would be the same as any other dead animal. Anybody who claims to know about such things is talking out of their ass.
There is no consciousness without a material brain-- no ghosts, no demons, no fairies, no gods. Consciousness is the product of an evolved brain... things without brains do not need consciousness... consciousness evolved in creatures who survive and reproduce better with the type of consciousness they have. This is true for all animals which are conscious. Plants and bacteria and creatures without brains can survive and reproduce without being conscious. Immaterial beings are not alive... they wouldn't need to survive or reproduce. Get it?
If not blame your religious brainwashing coupled with your extreme scientific ignorance. And blame the meme (that you spread to others) that there's an immaterial being who will torture your "immortal soul" forever if you don't "believe in" and spread this nonsense.
Shot ole bro. Harvey Burnett down out of his ivory tower...LOL
Lets all do the Tebow!!!
Lets all pretend to submit ourselves invisible imaginary beings!
Lets all show the world how pious and righteous we really are!
Lets all weep for jebus!
Lets outlaw all secular ideas and vices!
Lets all wear robes and crosses!
Lets us constantly remind our invisible gods how wonderful they are so perhaps one day they will remember us and look down kindly toward us.

Steven, this post reminds me of a little running joke I have at home. I ask all the time if Jesus after having been baptized went to the desert and fasted for 40 days, wouldn't he have stunk to high heaven when he came out? I don't think he took a bath while he was out there. His skin must have been dry, and his sandals and toes all crusty, and his hair a matted sweaty mess. His robe would have been dirty and smelling like a camels ass! This is just one of many of the stupid things I think about when I think about Christ Lol.
Great observation Chat!
How about Lazerus too? Talk about stink...whoohey!!!
You know most christains simply can't imagine a negative thought against their personal savior and the ridiculous stories made up about an invisible savior...LOL
