No I didn't.
I said that there is a non-material heart.

Well you see it is not only Christians who acknowledge that along with a physical heart there is a non-material part of our being which many people refer to as our heart.
You say that christians have another kind of heart than non-christians?

Again, that is not an accurate portrayal of what I said.

1.) To represent me claiming that
only Christians possess such a non-material heart is inaccurate of you. I would like to think your misrepresentation is not deliberate and deceptive.
2.) I said that others besides Christians hold a similar belief in a non-material heart.
The example I provided was H.G. Wells who was a strong believer in Darwinism.
You say, and I say not.
-----------------------------------
Make sure that you honestly represent what I
DID say before you claim to be saying the opposite.
And I take your silence on the matter on the question of being in a vegetative state otherwise to a perfectly functioning PHYSICAL heart to indicate that you do notice that something would be missing with your quality of life.
I asked -
Would you be happy to be in a vegetative state psychologically just as long as your physical heart was pumping blood ?
I propose that that missing something involves what theists and non-theists well might call your other heart.
Does even the kidneys has a spiritual function? The knee cap? The prostate?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are misrepresenting what I said still.
I did not say your physical heart has a spiritual function.
There is no need to portray me that the kidneys or kneecaps also perform a spiritual function.
Could your next reply contain fewer
strawman arguments ?
