tell me who you are if you add me
A soul is how some people explain a conscience, or something like that. IMO, it doesn't exist, and I think if you do a search, there was a thread about this a while ago
Yes, I agree with Finti. It's some kind of music...

soul[ sôl ]
1. nonphysical aspect of person: the complex of human attributes that manifests as consciousness, thought, feeling, and will, regarded as distinct from the physical body.
2. religion spirit surviving death: in some systems of religious belief, the spiritual part of a human being that is believed to continue to exist after the body dies. The soul is sometimes regarded as subject to future reward and punishment, and sometimes as able to take a form that allows it to remain on or return to earth.
I think some ppl need to understand the difference in some words.
Some ppl needs a sense of humour...
(Listens to soul... rockin' )

Whether it be something akin to a soul or not, there are still mysteries regarding human kind. For instance, they know how the brain works, but they don't know exactly what it does. How does it make us sentient, how does it enable us with self awareness and individuality. I do agree there is something else, a little oomph that makes our bodies of flesh, blood, and awesome opposable thumbs, human. Something that makes us think, feel, act, question and...philosophize.
So, what? They put a dying person on a weight, and looked at the number before and after death?
If ever there were an entity invented for human wish-fulfillment, the soul is that entity. As Thomas Hobbes pointed out, the concept of a non-substantial substance is a contradiction. It is not possible to imagine a non-physical entity having life and perception. Even believers in souls always imagine them as being like human shaped clouds or fogs. It is a delusion to believe that the concept of soul is conceivable. Yet, billions of people have believed in a non-spatial perceiver which can travel through space and perceive and interpret vibrations and waves in the air without any sense organs.
