At what point would you super-relgious types admit that you're wrong?

[Facetious]

I never edit things I post well after I post them (I always do the split second after I post and read the post over), it would have made it really confusing to read our discussion if I'd edited what I said.

Anyway, it was a misunderstanding. Exactly.

Reaver, your life is a joke.

Enjoy.

Most of the functions typically assigned to the soul (memory, self-awareness, cognition, etc) have an obvious dependence on the brain. I can affect these functions by directly messing with your brain. The default conclusion from this is that when your brain can not function properly, you will no longer experience memories, self-awareness, or cognition. Along with drugs and brain damage, death is also on the list of things that leads to your brain ceasing function. So I see no reason to suspect there's an afterlife. People are predisposed/programmed/eager to believe in an afterlife and thus subconsciously apply a different standard of logic when contemplating the issue.
