It does concern me when I read the things you think you believe, it's like a parallel universe to me I really do consider that your analysis of how things work whatever it is that you think is real and what isn't needs some serious rejigging.
If you were to dump all of the religious stuff I can't see that you as an individual would be any different other than you'd have more time for the important things in life.

It saddens me that you can't see the basic concepts behind our existence in the way I do. You probably think that I have formulated my views on reality in order to justify my faith. And I do believe that my faith has given me insights into the truth, but I also believe that my concepts of reality stand up in their own right. There has to be a missing link of some sort to convert the data stored in our brain cells to the perception of reality we all experience. There is something which drives our thoughts, driven by what I percieve to be free will. Our soul sets us free from the deterministic chains of science.
This just sounds like a load more old tosh to me where you, it seems to me are trying to make things up to fill up/ bend things to fit ideas that are really nonsense ideas in the first place.
How do you know your insights that you think are insights into the truth are any more true than anyone else's views are about the true nature of things?
You have a need to think that there's a fat controller out there somewhere, I don't share that need but if you or anyone else can come up with some credible evidence for these far fetched ideas of yours; well until some one can.
Things like a soul, well really, there's not a shred of evidence that would support that sort of idea, nor would it make a jot of difference if the idea was completely discarded.
