Your soul is what makes you, you.

Take the example of cloning: if you were to be cloned, would your clone be a souless version of you? Of course not! The only thing being cloned is your physical features, your clone isn't actually you. He would have his own "soul".

there is no reason to think that we do. there is no tangible evidence for the existence of souls, and nothing about being human that could only be explained by their existence.

I do not.

I merely understand why people believe, and actually "feel" like they have something that is separate from body. I also understand that this "feeling" has been prostituted by religions to those that do not.

(utter lack of evidence is all anyone "should" need to at least be highly skeptical of the idea, but...)

To be fair science knows and understands very little about the mind, science cannot explain where thoughts come from or prove or disprove whether they are directly connected to the body. There have been many cases of people who were clinically dead having obe where their thoughts were still existing beyond physical impossibility of being unconscious and heart stopped. Science doesn't know everything

That is freakishly incorrect. We know massive amounts about the brain. We definitely, 100% at least know enough to know that we cannot trust our own brain's interpretations in many, many situations. Our distrust of our brain's failings are the entire reasons things like the Scientific Method exist in the first place.

NDE's are just one of the whacky things our brain does, and we can reproduce it. Does this mean that we can explain exactly WHY it does this? No. But we certainly know enough to realize it isn't magic, or paranormal. In fact, nothing ever has been. Ever. No reason this will end, IMO...

I don't think we have souls in the literal sense. A person can have 'soul' in that you have strong feelings. It doesn't seem like there's such things as ghosts.

I enjoy religious philosophy. I believe humans have souls and that is the electricity contained within us. When we die, the electricity doesn't diminish, but escapes. That soul has a spirit. Negative and positive energy. Unique personality. Our bodies are only our temples, vessels, whatever, that our souls use, like clothing.

Well, I guess if you call the human conscience a soul, then yes. But if you call it some sort of separate entity that lies within us, no.

I don't know what you humans have, but I don't have one. Actually, I ate a human the other day, and she didn't have a soul.
