Sorry, but you are confused between brain and soul - one man made and one God
made.

A most interesting statement, this declaration that brains are man-made.

In that man has nothing to do with the soul.

Nobody but atheists want to go satan's way

The sticker is, we won't. Because in the moment after your brain
dies, you cease to exist.

But our souls move onward either to love and glory of God or to love
and glory of satan.

Nobody but atheists want to go satan's way, and that's out of
stupidity.

The soul has nothing to do with such a mundane thing as a brain.

Can you think with your soul?

Not that I know of. Your brain serves the body in that function.
Your soul is the essence of what you are, to prefer good over evil
(uh, that's me), love over hate (uh, that's me), etc.

After ten minutes irreversable damage is done due
to oxygen starvation. It's a delicate balance, look what happened
to Terri Schiavo, revived after ten minutes of oxygen starvation.
That vegetative state didn't happen because her soul was damaged.

That's right - her soul wasn't even touched. Her soul comes from
God.

If her soul wasn't even touched, why did she go into a vegetative
state?

Because her soul and her brain are two different things. Don't you
know anything? Oxygen starvation killed off many of her brain cells,
and so it stopped functioning. The essence of what she is continues
to this day and tomorrow and forever thereafter.

You said the mundane brain isn't responsible for states of
consciousness. Can't you make a simple comparison? Let me help.

No, I didn't say any such thing.
In fact, consciousness and the brain
are very much related, as are the soul and conscienceness.

Brain starved of oxygen, causing massive brain damage.
Patient is left in a vegetative state.
Soul unharmed (unbacked claim), patient still in vegetative state.
Hmmmm....

Now you getting it.

Looks to me like changes in the brain cause changes in consciousness.

Most definitely.

Therefore, when the brain dies, so does consciousness. The soul
doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything but your
imagination.

Yep.

Your idiot religion and desperate desire for everlasting life prevents
you from coming to the logical conclusion.

The everlasting logical conclusion just flew right past your left ear.

Proof, duke. Prove there is a soul. No doctor has ever done a
soulectomy.

That's right. A soul isn't a body part like a brain. A mere doctor
has no chance of even coming close to touching the essence of what we
are.

No man today knows for sure.

Ah, but you said "He is now standing in the glory and love of God", not

hope he is now standing in the glory and love of God."

Yep, he is now standing in the glory and love of God.

Just like no man today knows if God exists or not.

And that would include YOU, would it not?

Good luck on your choice.

Thanks. I have picked the surefire winner in Pascal's Wager - atheism.

Remember: Me - win (hopefully)/no win. You the atheist - lose/no win.

comes into play if there is no almighty God.

Odds are not in your favor.
