While ignoring my rebuttal to you at #125 that I have a 'faith' in the ~fact~ of my conscious minds existence as a physical organ.

Cat got your tongue, or are you once again unable to reply? -- Most of my posts to you on this thread are unanswered.

Why is that? Is this a new ploy where you 'answer' your critics with silence?

Odd game.

Dear tpaine, what is the point of answering? You dismiss virtually anything I say straight out of hand, but never give me a substantive counterargument. You assert, but do not demonstrate.

I flat-out reject your notion that your brain and your consciousness are one and the same thing, and have attempted to show why I have reached that conclusion. Beyond that, what can I do?

I'm not taking a shot at you here. Just making an observation about how our conversations usually go. I don't know what to say to you -- what would you like me to say?

How can ANYone make an argument of substance against your own ethereal 'ghost within' assertions?

Pot - Kettle. -- As I wrote at #120, and you typically failed to reply.

How bout admitting that your mystical/unprovable theories, -- ones that men like Pinker are showing to be flawed, -- are not a valid basis for constitutional government?

If you disagree with my question above, tell me why it is important to you that all citizens of the USA honor your God as the creator of our rights.
