Who said I grew up in a Christian Society or that I am Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or Shinto, or Athiest, or Agnostic? You're grasping at straws. You have a lot of assumptions Steve Richfield. I would check them at the door. (I'd refrain from making statements I know nothing about. It makes you LOOKlike you don't know what you're talking about, when I'm sure you DO know whatyou're talking about. Well, mostly anyway.) Cheers, ~PM.

You are here, so I presume that you are NOT a Christian. You have no evidence of that. EVERYONE (there are NO escapees) absorbs some of the Christian dogma as part of growing up in a Christian society. Your attachment to your (unstated) soul reflects that. 2. Replace the brain cells where? Replace them in my meat-based body, or replace them online. If you are duplicating my cells and putting them back into my meat body, then what does that achieve? This is a thought-experiment leading to an interesting conclusion. If you are duplicating the cells and removing them from my body and putting them in a machine,then eventually you will destroy the meat body Yes. and destroy the person. Spoken like true Christian, or at least a Christianized atheist. There will be a tipping point where the person is lobotomized and no longerfunctioning. Oops - NOT my thought experiment. Note in passing however that if you have ever been under general anesthesia, then you have already been there. Then you'll have neither the person nor a full recreation of that person. You have obviously missed something somewhere. Hold your cross and repeat "I Believe, I Believe, I Believe" and maybe it will come to you.
