Do you believe in a soul?

The animating and vital principle in humans, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity.

AND

The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state.
 
No. When I die, I'll just be ashes. The only lasting effect I'll have is in other people's memory.
 
I am agnostic toward the concept: I do not "believe" in it, but given testable evidence of its existence, I will acknowledge the possibility. However, to the best of my knowledge at this point, there is no such evidence, and thus no such acknowledgement is due.
 
I cannot comprehend non-existance. But I know that I will die at some point. Those thoughts conflict, and become a soul.
 
What's it to ya? 😀

Yes, I believe in the sole on my shoe.

Ok. I do believe that humans have something more than higher cognitive ability and complicated sentient thought which other animals do not possess. Whether or not it's a "soul" is beyond me and anyone else on this board. Have fun!
 
How do souls get to heaven? On the soooouuulll trrraaain!

Ok, sorry...

p.s. I don't believe in souls, nor any higher power. I wasn't programmed to believe in any particular religion when I was a kid 😉
 
i like to believe in souls, but i also accept the possibility that it could all be bogus. given that there's no evidence in either direction, I prefer to think that there are souls (although the other way may seem more logical).

imo, life would seem somewhat irrelevant if we had no souls to carry forward after our mortal lives are over. and also, I sometimes believe that some of personalities and characterics that aren't physical are innate and make us a little unique in our way of thinking.
