The question presupposes that souls exist in the first place. If somebody uploaded their consciousness onto a computer machine, then would the soul transfer (or be copied) from their meat machine? If a non-dickgirl transferred their soul into an artificially created dickgirl's body, then would their soul survive the transfer intact, or would it be dickgirlified?

Give me time to sift through the large body of scientific evidence investigating this phenomenon.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

You ask the hard questions Loin... I'm going to say no, the soul exists in our synapses and not the meat.Comment

I'd say yes. Soul and body are important.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

In that case, could I live a Jesusy life, upload my consciousness into a robotic killing machine, go on a rampage, and still go to heaven?
And how much meat can get cut away before my body can no longer house my soul?<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

How could you go to heaven while your consciousness is in a robotic killing machine?In that case, could I live a Jesusy life, upload my consciousness into a robotic killing machine, go on a rampage, and still go to heaven?

Because my soul wouldn't be in the robotic killing machine, as per your belief that only meat can house a soul. I guess I just assumed that it was the soul that went to the afterlife, as opposed to the meat or whatever have you.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post

Actually, we could upload Jesus into a robot.

True, but I'm not certain that deities have souls in the usual sense of the word, especially since they don't always have meat (e.g. Jesus had meat, but the Holy Spirit did not).<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

Yes, but he must have had a soul in that meat. We just need to build the Christbot and have Jesus come down from Heaven, enter it, and start the Robot Rapture.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

What kind of robot do you suppose they'd use as the Christbot? I'm thinking either a Terminator-bot or a Battlemech-bot.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

Will any meat do? Has anybody opined whether non-human animals are ensouled?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
