Poll for atheists only: Do you have a soul?

[Mini-Me]

Does that mean if Im wrong I'll be reincarnated as a worm? Or a couple of em?

Part of you will be reincarnated as part of several worms...and part of you will be reincarnated as wormpoop. It's a crappy life. Sorry, I couldn't resist! I'm essentially an agnostic (so I can't vote in the poll), but I came here out of curiosity to see what the atheists think. I'm actually surprised the poll isn't unanimous on wormfood.

I have to go with the universal consciousness option since I believe in a creator but not a savior and I believe our souls become part of the energy source from which it originated.

Our bodies however become worm food.

Since I've had the sensation several times of being outside of my body, I could lean toward the notion that an essence of consciousness in some degree could in fact go on. Probably it would be a very fuzzy foggy existence without a brain to tie everything to. Might be like some kind of dream state or something... like that movie "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams.

On the other hand, I give a relatively high probability to me just being a simulation of some sort, ala The Simulation Argument, in which case, afterlives or the absence thereof might be dependent upon your programmer, whether or not it wanted you to continue on.

So what does all of this say? I'm totally and irreparably agnostic as hell, about everything! (And that's not such a bad thing.. to admit to one's self, "hey, I just simply don't know what the fuck to believe in").

I do believe however that I will have a beer when I get home! Will it be a simulated beer? Don't know, but I expect it to taste great!

"Atheists" Don't Exist

God doesn't believe in "atheists." I guess that makes this poll is null and void. I'm sorry about that.

 

[beachmaster]

Which god doesn't believe in atheists? All of them? I think that's a pretty broad stroke there don't you? I bet some of the gods actually do believe in atheists. And some are probably agnostic. We should poll them.

Make more sense before posting, please...

To say a all knowing God wouldn't accept that there are people like my self who 100% dsagree w/ his exsistance means he is not all knowing, because there are people who have NEVER even heard of the Bible/Jesus/Judeo-Christian God, therfor they = atheists to your line of false belief. And if he is not all knowing, as claimed, how can one believe any thing else that is said about him?

Or it could be you just have your head so far up your hind quarters that you think that what you believe is what your myth believes in... a very probable scenario, imo.

Does the OP wish to confirm how unenlightenend athiests are because they believe we're worm food when we die...

I dunno, it seemed to work for me when I took it.

Yep, the results are still there.

Seems like god is taking a break from smiting this one

Watch "What the bleep do we know" on youtube. We are all extradimensional beings, everything is connected. I believe our souls are eternal. I also think it's foolish to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the universe when we can't even see 5% of it.

It was an interesting movie, but full of "fluff". A lot of people say a lot of things without really saying anything. The scene where Amanda is looking in the mirror and finally realizes what she really is was dead on.

I think when you die, you wake up.

the OP would be better served explaining your continued use of my air...

I voted for option 1. This is why I am active for liberty NOW.

"When you die that is it. You are worm food."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

That's a vast oversimplification. Soul or no soul, heaven or no heaven, what we can absolutely be certain of is that upon death, our body will be replenishing the soil's nutrients. Ergo, we fit into the life-cycle of what could be described as a living, breathing, collective consciousness (Earth).

As far as I'm concerned, anything beyond that isn't really worthy of consideration, as we've already reached the point of utmost intimacy with that which gives us life.

Hah... I remember this thread

 

[OptionsTrader]

Worm food.

 

[SeanEdwards]

Observable evidence points towards worm food.

Unfortunately.

I wish to be reincarnated as a miniature schnauzer to owners like my parents.

I don't know if that's religious or not, but, that's what I want

Hahahaha. . . I wouldn't mind coming back as my first dog either. But only to a family like mine with a kid like me, who thought that dog food was unfair and fed her exactly half of every single thing I ever ate.

She was a wee bit on the chubby side, but that's okay.

I want to be reincarnated as microwave. I'll always have delicious food, and I'll give the annoying little kids who press their noses against me cancer.
