Why should we have a spirit or life force? It seems clear to me that 'theories' like this are born of ignorance of the mechanics of the human brain. There is no evidence for these claims, and they're grossly unscientific.

What if he is a (semi)pagan? You never know.. But your prejudice seems to make things hard to understand


And philosophical theories also exist, don't forget that.

I was counting on him having a prejudice against pagan ideals for my point to hit home. Myself, I have a prejudice against all religious concepts, because I see no good come from faith and the rejection of rational thought processes involved in true science.

Also, philosophical theories are nothing without supporting evidence. Any theory which involves a non-physical component to human beings is still baseless. There is simply no reason to believe such a thing save human fear of mortality and human superiority complexes.
