Do any of you believe you have a soul?
I think this is a question all you scientific types should ask of yourselves. If you answer no, then are you just a smart chimp, or do you believe that the human "spirit" exists and sets us apart from the animals? If you answer yes, does that mean there is a diety?

From Wikipedia, soul:

In many religions and parts of philosophy, the soul is the immaterial part of a person. It is usually thought to consist of one's thoughts and personality, and can be synonymous with the spirit, mind or self.[1] In theology, the soul is often believed to live on after the person’s death, and some religions posit that God creates souls. In some cultures, non-human living things, and sometimes inanimateobjects are said to have souls, a belief known as animism.[2]
The terms soul and spirit are often used interchangeably, although the former may be viewed as a more worldly and less transcendent aspect of a person than the latter.[3] The words soul and psyche can also be treated synonymously, although psyche has relatively more physical connotations, whereas soul is connected more closely to metaphysics and religion.[4]

I'm a Christian, But who am I to question creation or how it happened Evolution or "Magic" doesn't matter to me. That said there is something to be said about Animism. I think All living things have a "soul" the "breath of life" Given to them by their creator. That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop eating Beef. I am thankful to God for the Cow and Respect to the noble Animal that died so I may live. Doesn't mean I worship Animals or the Earth.

Hmmm Steak

Lobster's don't have souls either.

That's the problem with humans, we invent things like souls to justify our raping of the planet. It's ok to kill everything around me, I have a soul......

It depends how you define soul.

I think people just see the same things differently.

What one defines with concrete science and reason another defines with arbitrary mysticism and nearly baseless foundations.

In a concrete sense I would say I have no soul. In a mystic sense or metaphorically, a soul being the summation of my ideas, thoughts, motives, anticipations, desires, knowledge, and intelligence... yes I have that soul.

There are no gods. Really. Think about it. Omni-what being times how many and he/she/it can't even make he/she/it-self known?

Brother, please! Men create gods. Never the other way.

I disagree...

Though I can't really say that I believe in a Soul, not in the sense that the Church believes in a Soul.

I don't believe that I'm going to go to Heaven for being a Saint..

or go to Hell for being less than one.


I do however see part of the world where Science just doesn't seem to have any answers. Mostly all the Ghost Stories floating around.

Tales of the dead lingering and sending messages, and communicating.

There's too many for them all to be complete bunkum...

Of course, I haven't had any personal experiences with ghosts, but I do know people that I trust that say they have.

If there's not a soul, then what are ghosts?
