Prove to me that you have a soul.

It is seperate from the body to me. You see I believe that a person is more than the body.

In what way?

Like two sides of the same coin, basically from a Dualist perspective.

I have a soul becaues Samuel L. Jackson granted me one. As he did your's.

How is your soul separate? Please tell me more.

The soul is part of the mind whilst being seperate from the body. Since the soul is an immaterial concept and not a physical process.

Ok, you have defined what a soul is to you. Know please prove that this soul exists.

This explains it better

Empirically, how? 😕

The Soul/The Concious perceptions for the most part is subjective since they are summed up by your experiences.

This is an antagonist thread. How you prove your point is up to you. I understand that you are talking about a concept, and I get it. However, too many people take the conceptual and try to apply it to the physical. This, IMO, leads to delusion. I conclude that your concept of a soul is not real, but only abstract.

I never implied or suggested that the soul is physical. It is an abstract concept correct, and that's what I meant.

OK. 😄 Basically, I agree with you.

I'm curious, as to who believes the Soul is physical?

Your using the word real in the same context as the word physical?

Perhaps physical is not the right word. More like ethereal. But it is believed by many religions that when you die, your soul leaves your body.

Your taking that quote for way to much face value, it's a euphemism.

I'm not taking it that way. There are people that I know who believe that the body and soul are separate, like a hand in a glove. I have not told you how I believe.

I believe they are separate too, but the mind to me is abstract since it is not measurable or feasible.

Ok, does your soul live on after you die?

Perhaps, honstly I don't really have any "Life After Death" beliefs except reincarnation and possibly "Earth Bound Hell".

Do animals have a soul?

Perhaps, but I doubt it would be anything like a humans, but than again a soul is the personal personifaction of self. It is a very personally thing, and I do not know if animals have the concept of self. At least that is what I believe.

I feel that all animals, including humans, are the same where it come to the question of a soul.
