I would say no because its beliefs were never originally yours. cormac Except that exact clones would be paired with different souls? Twins don't share a soul according to the Bible, and past life regressionists. Of whom I trust the latter, much more than the former. Cheers.

If we're allowing God into it, I'll say that if a mind, and a brain, and emotions that are organic, souls will still be able to incarnate. When the brain becomes almost digital, God won't be interested anymore because it's our soul/body interaction and the lessons, and experiences we learn for ourselves, and him, won't be human anymore. God will probably abandon humans then, because humans are a transitory illusion created to expedite experiences, and learning. And if we're not longer human, we wouldn't fit the criteria for soul incarnations. God would simply shift souls/spirits to another world to continue the journeys. So in a nutshell, I don't think that we will ever get even close to the scenario you invisioned. It would be anathema to what God built to house our souls/spirits. Robots don't have souls. Cyborgs on the other hand would. Until the brain becomes silicone in nature, God will always be with us. To add to Will's statement, I think the word he was searching for was traits, instead of personality. Traits travel with spirit/souls. Spirit also retains personality, and traits. Otherwise, spirit/souls would simply be automatons. We are not automatons. We have free will, and choice. Would souls/spirit be any different? If you allow God into it, you have to allow soul/spirit as well. Great thread. Good to see more free thinking. Spruces the place up a bit, it does. Hi Hank No offence meant but if god is a creation of the human mind what purpose would it serve in a culture that creates itself, god is redundant as a source of being as we are self creating? jmccr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, atheism is proof of this. God believes in us. No matter what. After all, each of us are in realty, just a infestiminally tiny slice of God itself.

Criticism is good if it's constructive. God is not a creation of the human mind. Thats hubri. Many believe, some don't. That's the free will God gave us. So that we can experience everything over a vast amount of lifetimes without internal biases. God created us, not vise versa. We just chose to think that. The alternative scares to many people, so we change it to make it more bearable. More in control.

Do I remember every thought I have had or do I have impressions left by them? jmccr8 The difference is though that a clone ISN’T the original you. You have control over your own thoughts only and NOT the clones. cormac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Hank I hope this post addresses your last 2 politely One night I was playing pool at a XX clubhouse and after ruling the pool table for a couple of hours yelled I am god, in reality I wasn't but the work I do is taking people's thoughts and dreams a reality and yes that makes me feel like a god because I made imagination reality.

It matters not one whit what other religions think. All that matters to God is belief. None are wrong, and none are right. We created the details, not God. Just humans trying to gain a little control over their lives. God only wants us to learn, and experience everything there is. We certainly can't do it in one go. Hence reincarnation.

That could be possible under the free will God gave us. However I haven't found anything to indicate that this is so. But, would you prefer the nothing over continuence after death? As to whether you believe in reincartion under your scenario, reincarnation believes in you. As many surprised souls have found out if past, and life between life regressionists are to be believed, and the abundance of data shows they are. Belief in anything God gets you a ticket to the afterlife. Even non belief will get you there. It just means you need more experience in belief. Another incarnation with this criteria will be the in the next life till you get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A body grows to code because that is how cells divide and grows to make a human being. After a human being lands on this plane then think about what it is bombarded with, BELIEFS!!
