So, in short, you see the definition of a person through a prism that explains things in terms of supernatural causality, is that right?
I'm sorry. I don't have any idea what you mean.

Why did you reply to my reply to Rajk?
Because in it you asked: "The question of the OP is "how do you define people"?" So I thought it was an opportunity to make myself clearer to you.

By the way, I felt somehow enriched by your OP.

My post only touched on one aspect of humanity--but one that is very apparent in our present world--mankind's control or lack thereof, of anger. Well, that and mankind's bent towards or away from benevolence.

My post, therefore, falls way short of your OP concerning the much broader "definition" of people.

No, your post is fine. Clearly what I thought we'd be talking about is different from what people - having seen KellyJay's question in the OP - actually want to talk about. It's OK. It's just forum life.

I live in a culture where benevolence is commonplace and anger is [mostly] either avoided or hidden.

I note that you are, thus far, steering clear of my answer to your question.
I believe we are made in the image of God, that early in our creation took a turn evil that has polluted our nature.

How do you define a person [or people or humans]? If you don't buy into my OP's answer, what's yours?

You explain people by their paradoxical nature's, which are actually quite mutable once one gives up trying to positively encapture people. And accepts that paradox is the best way to themself.
Another question? How do explain the human brain , said to be the most fascinating thing universe?

Gen 1

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
