Say it ain’t so
Disease or injury to specific areas of the brain can specifically impair every sort of function, comprehension, feeling and emotion known to humans. Stimulation of precise loci can simulate love, religiosity, empathy and 'out-of-body' sensations.
It's all chemistry. There is no 'ghost in the machine'.

Do you mean to say we 'die' each time we are unconscious? - alechol..
Obviously not.
Anaesthetic disrupts activity of the brain by producing changes in the brainstem and cerebral cortex. As a result we lose consciousness and have absolutely no memory - occasional mistakes by anaesthesiologists notwithstanding - of the time we were 'under'.
If reversible and temporary chemical changes to the brain destroys all consciousness how can consciousness possibly survive the complete destruction of our brains?
We are our brains.

Our consciousness doesn't survive anaesthetic so how can it survive the complete destruction the brain?
so, england lost yesterday in the world cup semi-final to croatia, the deserved winners.. i'm a bit gutted we didn't reach the final but i think the england team can feel proud of how well they've done.
i know i certainly feel a certain amount of pride in the team.. i guess they just ran out of steam in extra time.. but, overall, england did well this campaign.. of course, improvements need to be made if england are to reach the finals of serious competitions.. bring on the euros!.

It was good progress but they were outplayed in the second half by the better team. Croatia dominated midfield by pinning back our wingbacks. England began to make really basic defensive errors and in the final third they lacked the quality to create goals.
It's a young team who will keep on improving, as will the manager. There are also some excellent youths at St George's Park. The future is bright.
So many formerly great teams were terrible.
Isn't this quite old news?

Its OK to have people who are Muslim create NoGo zones in England - blownaway
There are NO NoGo zones anywhere in England. Our police, our government and most of all our people will not tolerate it.
There was a case of a group of young Muslims verbally assaulting young women telling them they were not allowed to walk in a particular area 'improperly' dressed. They quickly got arrested.
Sweden has No-Go areas, I'm not sure about Germany but I doubt it.
i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

SBF - You didn't answer my question...
It’s the ultimate God of the universe I think most are interested in - SBF
So the question is whether an unknown and unknowable god exists.
A 'god' that doesn't communicate, didn't create, doesn't interfere in life in any way, doesn't answer prayer, didn't inspire any holy books, doesn't provide any moral guidance, doesn't provide any direction for living or hope for the future.
How exactly is this not identical to a god who doesn't exist?

The premise that says "the human mind is capable of understanding the universe better than any other animal" cannot be proved by any reasoning but it must be taken as true - Brazil
This is self-evidently false.
Show me the non-human animal that has sequenced its own DNA or travelled to the moon.
