Do you believe it?


If you believe that humans have one, do you believe other animals have one?

I believe in souls, but not in the sense of an immaterial copy of a person's memories or whatever... ghosts.

Do you believe it?

I see the soul as another term for cognition and Cognition is clearly real so sure I guess? Now as for the 'soul' being immortal and life after death I don't believe in that as in my book once the brain dies everything ends for that person. They revert back to what it was like before they were born and that's nothing.

It would be cool if we had souls but I think it's as ridiculous as saying that there's a little "you" inside of your brain that controls your body.

Can anybody be so sure as to say "of course not" to ghosts? Fairies? Leprechauns? Because they're all on the same level as far as evidence for existence goes.

I don't understand how someone could say anything other than "of course not" when asked this question.
It's absurd.

Absolutely. There is no difference between the smallest function of life and the greatest expression of existence.

I believe in the soul only because I think it'd be depressing to think that if someone made a clone of me we'd be as real as each other.

I want to be the real one

Yeah, the soul is basically your mind/emotions, while your spirit is the supernatural part.

I use the word soul to describe the fundamental oneness of something; that which make it what it is. But I don't engage in any forms of magical thinking.

Sure, although definitions vary.

AirJordan2345 posted...

Kinda depends on the definition. On a philosophical level, no, because animals don't have an evolved, complex sense of morality. If you're going by religion, Christian dogma used to insist that animals were clockwork rather than thinking beings and that no soul was present. While stances have somewhat changed over the years, the Abrahamic religions afaik have never placed animals and plants as having anything equal to humans. Granted, some religions seemingly acknowledge something resembling an equivalence, since reincarnation-based religions like Hindi can have a human in one life become an animal in the next and vice versa (although humorously that doesn't stop them from eating animals)
