> Furthermore it's a bit foolish to discuss concepts such as the "soul" without bringing religion into it, and I rather take offense at your solicitation for opinions in the same breath that you dismiss those that upwards of what 80-90% of the world might give you. "Malarky" was the word you used. As someone so concerned with people who assume "everyone else is wrong," you're not very inconspicuous about holding a double standard.

I'm a hypocrite. I've always known it. I treat this exactly the way I do everything else - I'm right and you're not. I'm hypocritical about hypocrites - and besides, religion just makes me so ANGRY (there you go) that I really can't stand thinking logically about it, negatively or positively.

This kind of thing is never going to get resolved. Everyone, I find, has such inherent bias that never can be levelled.

There's no way to be fair. If everyone basks in their own beliefs and *not* tries to rationalize it, that's the only way everyone can be happy.

So. Let's move on to lighter things, huh?
