But you just dodged my question. Here it is again:See this is why people don’t bother trying to engage with you. You’re worse than a bot. Always dodging everything. Totally disingenuous.
R u denying that religious people say that atheists don't have moral agency because why would they (atheists)?
Now, bear in mind, you are not "religious people", your views may differ to some other religious people
I have explained my position. Asking me about what some of the other 7 billion people on the planet think is moronic.
The difference is how moral actions are ordered. Unbelievers may act in accordance with natural law, but without faith and sanctifying grace. They lack the supernatural virtues that order those actions toward eternal beatitude. You won’t like or even understand that answer, but there you go.
Now, that that’s out of the way….if consciousness is entirely reducible to brain activity, how do you account for rigorously documented death experiences, such as those in the Lancet study by Pim van Lommel; where patients reported accurate perceptions of their surroundings during periods of flatlined EEG and absent cortical activity. In other words, how can veridical conscious experience occur in the total absence of measurable brain function and why is there such commonality in these death experiences regardless of the cultural or religious background of the person who dies?
You’re on your final warning. Answer the question or bugger off.
