You’re incorrect, seeing the body and soul as two separable things (as in soul is real me, body is merely container) is a heresy from the earliest days of the church known as Gnostic Dualism. It stems from a fundamental misunderstanding that you apparently have as well. We are not merely a soul in a container, but rather we are both body and soul. hence why the body is treated with respect after death, if Christians didn’t believe the body mattered and was merely a container they would have sky burials or something similar.
I highly recommend you learn a bit more about the foundational religion your society is built off of before acting like you know things.
This is correct. There is also extensive scripture about the purity of the body as it affects the soul, and why people were STRICTLY forbidden from consuming the blood of another person, as it contains the essence of their soul.
The, for lack of a better term, constant vocal christ-faggotry is the most cringe part of this board. You lot would be just as zealous in muhammed-buggery or jewery if you were simply born to different parents, but you're too blind to see the sheer absurdity of your positions.
I wish the fucking leftists could leave well enough alone, so we wouldn't all be shoved into this hole together, but here we are.
Wouldn’t all of those same contentions apply to you? Saying to someone “If you were an entirely different person, born to different parents, time and place, then you would not be who you are right now!” is about as midwit a statement as I have ever heard.
The key difference is that I don't make any claims to holding any sort of universal truth about reality or the human condition.
Those suffering from a severe case of religiosity do.
To insist that your viewpoint, which only exists from your geographic and economic place of birth and style of upbringing, is the definition of right and proper, true and correct, is utter retardation.
But, please, go back to wallowing in your superior beliefs and laughing at "midwit statements" that you don't actually comprehend.
Mate, you can't simply wave away criticisms of your make-believe ideology by tacking on more arbitrary rules based around unfalsifiable "trust me bro" concepts.
You are not a body with a soul, you are a personality matrix that exists as an emergent function of a highly complex and specialized biological neural network. You are software emulated on meatware, supported by a complex mobile life-support and environment manipulation meat suit. You don't even sense reality; rather, you imagine what reality looks like through the feedback mechanisms of EM-sensory organs throughout your body.
There is nothing magic or supernatural about you, or any mobile matter configuration we classify as "living".

Looking at this from a science perspective…
There’s probably a reason why most non-primitive cultures outlawed that practice…
Namely blood-borne illnesses. Of course, the ones that didn’t outlaw cannibalistic shit ended up with fucking kuru, et al…
Clearly “the ancients” figures this shit out over only a few generations, at least in, umm, “civilized” society…
Anti-Gnosticism is the most based part of this board I have ever seen.
