Rather ironic, but to be honest I don't recall what my original thoughts were when I created this thread, I had fallen off the wagon rather heavily the other day.Peter Kropotkin wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2023 2:46 pmK: as a lifelong atheist, I am very interested in this... so I hope that attofishpiattofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 6:13 am For atheists, I want you to sit in a quiet place and consider yourself...this remains a thought comprehension\experiment.
So.
We, ourselves are a block of memory within this universe. That is who we are, we are capable of intelligently perusing said block of memory.
Are you with me so far?
can complete this beyond a ''block of memory''... I am interested, so please,
can you present us with your thoughts about souls and being atheist....

Not sure if there is much point progressing from an atheist point of view since that block of memory fizzles out into the Earth. To comprehend a 'soul' one needs to comprehend that the backbone to subatomic reality has an intelligence operating, an intelligence that manifests throughout the brain matter- block of memory (something I know to exist without a shadow of a doubt).
Indeed, knowing this I am then questioning our consciousness and wondering whether we are capable of being conscious and to sense qualia inputs without this 'God' being ever-present, manfesting throughout our brain matter. I attempt to consider what is God to the point of pondering dark-energy/matter and whether that is in fact what God is.
That perhaps we are consuming the light the energy that we can perceive and it returns to the dark-energy backbone of reality and this universal cycle continues until heat-death big bang restart! Think of the cathode-anode arrangement on a PCB where the components are our qualia sensations from the light to dark.
