If I offered to upload your entire chemical structure, virtually, into a machine to save your soul, would you?

Question

We'll put you in when you die, or earlier if you want. Once you get there, you are free to redesign yourself as one would re-write software. You don't have to be addicted to nicotine anymore. You are your own holodeck. You know everything that's on Wikipedia, and you know what needs editing. You will exist, learn, explore, and be with your loved ones forever (especially if they upload too). What are your thoughts?

I'm interested in the difference between atheist answers and theist answers, NOT whether you think this is possible. If you are allergic to hypotheticals, please avoid typing.

Thanks all!

Answer 1

I must admit,your proposal is somewhat titilating as an experiment,however,I believe that God is far better at re-writting updated and improved software than I.



As it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

Answer 2

Hell yes.

Freedom to continue my existence after physical death would be fantastic. As human beings, we are limited by our genes, biology, culture, and environment. If behavior became an open choice for everyone, it would be possible for humans to overcome some of our more dogmatic and irrational tendencies from the past. I'm an optimist when it comes to technology.

It's not going to happen, but it's great to dream.

Answer 3

If that were possible, I'd do it in an instant, and I'd add in extra education while I was at it. I see no objections, at least not right away.


For the record, I'm an atheist.

Answer 4

It wouldn't work because only GOD can save a soul

Answer 5

hmm... it wouldn't be too bad until the machine breaks down. I'd do it.

Answer 6

You know, I think I'd get bored and sad in there. I think I'd pass.

Answer 7

I'm game
