"Did Litkicks reject this piece?"

Yeah they did, but who really cares? It is not as if any of the writing on that cyber-donut shop goes anywhere.

I was inspired to write this after reading some of the writings of the "emergent" thinkers such as Chalmers, Searle, and Eccles, who believe there are strong arguments against reductive, materialist accounts of mind/consciousness. IF this is true, and mind is not wholly material (though I remain skeptical) then perhaps such immaterialist arguments can be used to support theological views. There are other religious people voicing support for the argument from design as well. SO these are major objections (though I think refutable) to atheism and materialism, which of course no one at Litkicks bothers to mention.

Also, the LK prompt mentioned Dante, but no one approached him either, so I thought it was fitting to bring up some of his "judgments". In the Inferno, Mohammed is in hell (not at complete bottom however). There are other interesting figures rotting in the INferno as well--such as Ulysees (deep) and Paola and Francesca (upper levels).

If the LK id-jits want decent writing they must be prepared for unsettling and troubling pieces, especially when asking for theological or philosophical insights. . Anyways I am through with those shallow, skanky gangstas
