It seems to me you have a problem here. If the mind is simply a function of physical processes, which upon death ceases to exist, then the concept of a soul becomes incoherent. Without thought, memory, or will, the soul would simply be the power of God that, for lack of a better description, would simply return to him upon your death, without any imprint of who "you" are.
It's an interesting dilemna with profound consequences that I really don't think you've thought out very well...

Spirited: Precisely! And of course this was Kant’s paradox, but being morally deficient he simply plowed on, because at bottom, his main focus was “me, myself, and I.” Thus his idealist monism, which teaches that reality exists in the deified mind of narcissists like Kant.
