The Soul
 
The soul, in many religious, philosophical, mythological and psychological traditions, is the essence of a thing. Some even believe it immortal.

Do you believe we have souls? I don't. I believe we are souls. Or to put it another way I believe we are spiritual beings in physical bodies. As for whether we (souls) are immortal or not, or what happens to us after we die, I have no idea and don't pretend to.

What do you think? Do you believe in souls, do you nourish the spiritual, or is all that bollocks to you?

Maybe you're more interested in satisfying the body with sex and booze and food? Or are you more concerned with the matters of the mind?

Not really. I don't see a need for a soul if the brain does everything they say it does.

I don't believe in souls. Or "energy" or any kind of untraceable life force.

Though I don't believe in any all-knowing deities, nor heaven or hell or eternal suffering or any of that sort of thing, I have always wondered about the possibility of souls. Or maybe I just have an unreasonable attraction to the "paranormal".

Just curious... do you write for the Encyclopædia Britannica?

No. I just read a lot on philosophy, religion and mythology.

Is that how they worded soul? Spooky.

Yes, it is almost verbatim... except you said "psychological traditions" the original is "mythological traditions." Nice copy & paste skills though. Even though it borderlines plagiarism you did a bang up job.
