” If the mind is simply a function of physical processes, which upon death ceases to exist, then the concept of a soul becomes incoherent. Without thought, memory, or will, the soul would simply be the power of God that, for lack of a better description, would simply return to him upon your death, without any imprint of who “you” are.”

Spirited: Precisely! And of course this was Kant’s paradox, but being morally deficient he simply plowed on, because at bottom, his main focus was “me, myself, and I.” Thus his idealist monism, which teaches that reality exists in the deified mind of narcissists like Kant.

It's pretty sad to see the above being passed off as some sort of "thought." The latter part of the first sentence doesn't at all follow necessarily from the first. The second sentence merely asserts something about the soul that, in Christianity at least, is ontological nonsense. One could claim based on this, and some do, that since unborn infants don't have thought, memory, or will, abortion merely returns the soul to God.
