    Please be specific with regard to what you are asking. is a spirit defined as a discrete sentient being or a part of human existence?

    I didn't ask that. You did.

    Well, that's the question asked of you. Please answer which you wish an answer on.

    Take your pick.

    Update on answers so far. As it stands, we can defintely say:

    1. We are no closer to know what spirit is

    2. Those giving answers vary wildly, there is nothing even close to a consensus

    - Spirit is a metaphor

    - Angels and demons are not spirit

    - Angels and demons ARE spirit (no answer as to what spirit is)

    - It is breath (meaning plants and paramecium also have spirit)

    - It's the holy ghost (with no answer as to what spirit is)

    - It's the non-physical part of people (no answer as to what spirit is)

    - It's how you hear God (no answer as to what spirit is)

    - It connects to our consciousness to form reality (no explanation of what spirit is or how that works)

    - It connects us to higher dimensions (no explanation of what that is or how that works)

    - It's the lifeforce or spark of life (no explanation of what that is or how that works)

    - Alcohol

    - Undetectable non-physical God-stuff

    - Human motivation (metaphor for something else)

    - Oxygen

    - The seat of emotions (no explanation of what that it, metaphor)

    - Information (no answer as to what that means)

    - Humans aren't privy to that information yet (after a claim of what it was)

    - Future existence but also nothing (no explanation of what that is)

    It's a question, not a contest.

    Can you tell us what spirit is comprised of?

    Viv, I've gone through your summary, and you've missed a few suggestions. Do review your thread. Clue: It's either matter or it's energy. We know it cannot be matter.

    FHN, put your big girl panties on. You tried really hard to be snarky and put little ole me in my place. You just came up short. Perhaps the tale of the sour grapes would be more apropos for your situation. Think on it, have a drink, get some rest.

    Twitch, if you need to know what I am made of, I recommend a good human anatomy class. Also, I appreciate your honesty.

    Matter and energy are the same thing, saying it can't be one is saying it can't be the other. Either way, it's not been established that we know it cannot be matter.

    It's a suggestion and it should be in your summary. You did remember to include alcohol, which was a joke.
