When asked why, since no man can see them, they reply: 'Oh, but you forget the good God.' Apparently they conceive of the Deity as a Peeping Tom, whose omnipotence enables Him to see through bathroom walls, but who is foiled by bathrobes. This view strikes me as curious."<br /><br />-- Bertrand RussellEliot Rosewaternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-48384015609264630642010-06-06T00:29:03.490-07:002010-06-06T00:29:03.490-07:00Dear Spooked in Spokane: I have good news and bad ...Dear Spooked in Spokane: I have good news and bad news. First, the bad news: Your mother-in-law is clearly a pervert, a creep, a peeping-tom, and a stalker. But you already knew that; otherwise, you wouldn't be concerned about her snooping about in your life. Now for the good news: Spirits do not exist. When the physical brain is damaged, due to disease, trauma, or chemicals, mental function is damaged. Personalities can change. Skills and memories can be permanently lost. All of this, and much other strong scientific evidence, shows that consciousness is a function of the brain. Therefor, spirits do not exist. Souls do not exist. No-one ever comes back from the dead. There are no ghosts. None! Once your mother-in-law is dead, she will no longer be able to snoop about your life and generally make you miserable. She'll be gone, and good riddance to her.llewellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001213921499191213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-13070754180299914752010-06-05T22:35:36.453-07:002010-06-05T22:35:36.453-07:00@unapologetic:
