For me, states of being are not the same as emotions. Emotions originate with thoughts (i.e., anger, love, jealousy, etc.). States of being are simply that--states of being (i.e., Joy, Love, Peace, or all of those).
The reason I ask this, is because if, as I've been told, an atheist believes that humans are but "bags of water with complex chemical reactions," then how would one explain or define a "state of being?"
Another question I've always had of atheists, is where they think those "states of being" come from, and what motivates a "bag of water with complex chemical reactions" to do anything?
