So now some totally theoretical questions. Our pastor preached a sermon a few weeks ago about heaven. I've been bothered by it ever since, but not about anything new that he said. I've just been looking at things in a new way.
One of the points was that we're more than the physical and that some part of us will survive past death. I've never doubted that, nor do I now, but I am bothered by what survives. As someone who has suffered from depression and can easily see how brain chemicals affect every part of me, I have to wonder what kind of "person" will I be without physical brain chemicals. If many of my attitudes and behaviors are dependent on exercise or caffeine or diet or drugs (I'm no longer on Paxil, but I took it for several years), is there any part of my soul that would actually be recognizeable to me?

Paul seems to think that we'll have new physical bodies in heaven. The dead will be raised, not just their spirits will be raised. Still pretty wild.
Part of the question, I guess, is what makes you you?
