what is a soul?

Started by The Force2 pages

the soul is the only thing that goes to the afterlife, you body just sits in the ground and rots, afterlife meaning Heaven or Hell of course

I heard something similar to that before. Some people believe that the human body is a prison of the soul. That death is the release into true freedom. Kinda poetic....but I like it. 😊

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.

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. ✅ [/B]
