Default All About Souls!

In your view/religion, what is a soul? Do humans have them? Do other organisms have them? How do you know?

I understand that a soul is like an eternal lifeforce. In my opinion humans do not have them... I would also seriously doubt if any other organisims have them. Unfortunately there will be only 1 time you will be able to find out

I don't think the concept of a soul explains anything. It seems like a useless concept.

Why don't you believe they/we have them? I'm not here to directly advocate one or the other, but I was hoping to hear the reasoning of both/all sides...

What do you mean by "soul" when you say it is useless?

I just feel that souls are made up by certain religions to pretty much scare you into thinking their way.. if you don't, your soul will be damned to hell! A soul in my opinion is a brainwashing(please don't yell at me people)

An entity that exists as an individual identity independent of the body.

It still wouldn't seem right to me, becuase it would almost be the same as having 2 lives. In my belief.. when you die you become fertilizer, nothing more
