So you say that I am spiritually dead, eh?
Meaning you are not dead, that you are better than me, superior than me, that you are one of the über-menschen? Okay, if you say so.
I don't want to be a christian because then I have to pretend that I ma above anyone else. No I refuse to do that. I don't want to be one of you.
The concept of a soul interests me. I try to get the essence out of it, and I just find strange ideas. Noone seems to know, but many have opinions. Some get their views from the bible, written by people that also have opinions. Where is the truth about it when noone agrees with the other?
Either the soul is a fact, and then there should be a clear answer, not a bunch different ones. Or there is guessings, and then yours are as good as mine.
If I like to learn of the christian idea of a soul - does that make me dead spiritually? Well, if so, I am proud of it. I wouldn't be proud of relying on different authorities with different explanations in order to not to have to think for myself. No, I don't want to chill out and relax. That we can do in church.
