kosta: Ordinarily, when a person says he or she has a sibling is not a hypothetical statement
Spirited: Ordinarily, when someone makes a claim such as the one made by kosta, the automatic assumption is that the claim is the written manifestation of a thought process originating in the mind.
However, whenever an agnostic/atheist/materialist either speaks or writes something we must assume that ‘a discarnate entity’ hovering somewhere in the unseen realm near to the machine-body called kosta has ‘oozed’ a meme onto the material brain of robot-kosta, then ‘caused’ the robot to open its’ mouth in order that memetic utterances can be heard.
What else are we to think but a variation of the above since if materialism is paradoxically true, then kosta is both soulless and mindless?
“As a man believes so he is” can be otherwise stated as “ideas have consquences.” The consequences of abusing your free will in order to reject the living God is the loss of your soul and mind.
Undoubtedly QUITE SO. QUITE SO.
At least from all the available evidence.
AMEN! AMEN! QUITE SO! QUITE SO!
Truly, under metaphysical naturalism the mind is merely an epiphenomenon of the physical brain. An epiphenomenon is a secondary phenomenon which cannot cause anything to happen.
Amen to that, dear spirited irish! For that is the very truth of the matter.
Thank you ever so much for your insightful essay/post!
