Do you believe in a soul?

[Doktor Howl]

Coincidentally, I've never believed in James Brown either

[BabylonHoruv]

I believe in the soul.  I do not believe we are physical manifestations of spiritual energy.  I believe we are physical beings animated and motivated by a spiritual essence.

[Jasper]

I do not anticipate the existence of a soul because nothing I have observed would be explainable by such a thing, and any kind of metaphysical meaningfulness to life seems conceited and arbitrary.

I believe in the soul.  I do not believe we are physical manifestations of spiritual energy.  I believe we are physical beings animated and motivated by a spiritual essence.

This is close to what I believe.

This thread reminds me of Belief in Belief, whereby people say "I believe in" not when they anticipate reality, but when they anticipate it is /virtuous/ to anticipate something.

In other words, when someone says "I believe in a soul", they probably don't actually anticipate coming face to face with anything resembling a soul ever, or any evidence thereof.

If they /did/, they would probably just say, "There are souls".

So no, I don't believe in a soul, I don't anticipate it being virtuous of me to anticipate the existence of souls. Nor are there any such things as souls.

I think there are souls, but the soul is not an animating force, and I am definitely not a physical manifestation of that soul.  The mind and body are both physical in origin, your soul is only meant to kick in after the body gives up.

I believe this is one of those questions for people who have time to waste in their day to day life.

I drink Kona coffee mainly for the mana (I literally have a craving for molecules from the hawaiian volcanic chain). The caffeine is a secondary concern.

[Juana]

If I could get my hands on another bag of Kona coffee, I would totally ignore the terrible things coffee does to me these days. I fucking love that stuff.


Re: soul - I have decided this is another issue I just don't care about. Either I'll find out after I bite the dust, or I won't, and it won't have mattered either way.

You should give Ethiopian Yirgacheffe a try, if you haven't.  It's fucking delicious.

[Juana]

It is worth eight hours of misery after a cup? If it is, I'll totally keep an eye out. Kona is, certainly.

[Jasper]

I would accept souls as defined:

"The memeplex that originates from a given entity."

[Bu🤠ns]

i believe in the idea of a soul.

[Iason Ouabache]

No, seriously. What the fuck is a "soul"?
