And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul
I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.
Part of the problem with the analysis is that under the influences of Western Christianity the term ‘soul’ has become a very specific configuration of properties.
For example, in ancient Egypt there were over seven different types of what we consider ‘soul’ with biographical memory as only one type.
The ren was the name and identity of a person, the ba their personality, the ka as their “life force” of sorts.
Conversations like this one might be better served by a more nuanced vocabulary in its discussion.
