The eternal soul
The crass advantage taken
By religion
That EVERYONE has a hard time with the idea
That THEY will just be gone when their body dies
Like all of the other people
That they SAW life leave
Death was much more personal
They kept decomposing bodies in their houses
To make sure they were actually dead?
Better to see this liquifying flesh
Than to admit death
Meanwhile
Brain injuries that were survived
PROVED that WHO we are, or were
Are in our brain
The electronic powerhouse
So incredibly complex
That it can actually CHANGE reality
The Human brain has changed the face & ecology of an entire planet in this solar system
Yet is called a soul
A person without their brain
Is not a person
A person without their heart
Can continue if they have access to their brain
Like Dick Cheney
The sad people mourning a body without a brain
Can ONLY see a soul then
Egotistical in it's selfish attachment
Personalities are memories basically
A bunch of perceptions of a Human Brain
That was buit to see certain kinds of light and shadow
And ignore the VAST light spectrum of the Universe
Eyes that THINK they see reality
And we have utterly PROVEN
That they don't
The need for a soul is ridiclous and cowardly
