No, it is a position derived from cold hard logic. The sort of thing you'd get if you fed the facts into an appropriate (and hopefully bug-free) computer program (or a Vulcan from Star Trek) and asked the program for an evaluation and conclusion. There is no credible evidence that thoughts (and thus existence) are independent of the physical human body. Mildly put, it's wishful thinking to believe otherwise. Bluntly put, it's delusional to believe otherwise. I am not arguing with that Arryn. The cold hard logic is very materialistic. And there is nothing wrong with being materialist, I was just playing along with Spike.
As for my personal believes, I can say that I am more or less agnostic, if I have to put a label on myself.
