... because, as you've obviously figured out by now, religious people aren't
concerned
with mind as an emergent quality from physical systems, they're concerned
with soul as an
metaphysical entity that's somehow ethereally associated with physical
systems... an odd, odd, odd
idea, going against the interpenetration of all things that seems to me the
essence of religious
experience...
