First if all, I've been waiting for a spot to jump back in and offer my apologies to Sol for first questioning his rabbi-ness and second calling him "sick" for his beliefs...

I am sorry, Sol.

With that said, I still find myself squarely on the other side of the fence.

We all have a spirit and we all have a body. The two are not the same. Once the spitit moves on, it is no longer part of the body. I learned this for myself when my wife died. Others may or may not ever learn it but that is not the issue here. What is the issue, in my mind, is that we be able to seperate the spirit from the body and accept that there is this point when the spirit leaves. Once that had occured, agin in my opinion, the person that we once knew, is no longer...


But, again, my apologies to Sol. I am sorry.
