Pretty sure most religious folk think talking to snarky posters like you about their soul is a huge waste of time, so they shrug and move on

I'm an atheist and I believe I have a soul. It is the essence of who I am. My soul is eternal, but maybe not sentient. I am part of the whole. Religious people might call the whole "god." "Universe" works for mysticals types. Together, we are the alpha and omega.

The immaterial portion of a human that is made up of energy And is immortal.

Thanks at least for the effort. No such thing as immaterial though. I'm pretty sure (although I'm not a scientist or physicist) that energy can be detected, and as far as I know nothing immaterial can be detected.

we know there's energy because E=MC squared. The soul is just a product of neurons firing in the brain. I'm still not clear what people think it is.

Or they have no answer, and can't answer a simple question

You catch more flies with honey. Not by driving them back into their hive. You need to learn this.

C'mon. We're all adults here. If you start a thread asking about "your soul," there's nothing wrong with asking for a definition of "soul"? Its's a rather nebulous concept, and many respondents would probably be talking about several different things. You can't discuss "soul" until you've defined the term so we're all understand what we're talking about.

The definition of “soul” is easily found online. Nobody here has their own personal definition. Nobody here has a definition that is more accurate than the definition you can read with just a simple search.

“We” aren’t going to define what a soul is here in this anonymous thread. My goodness, tamp down your arrogance just a bit.

Science doesn’t have the power, tools, or knowledge to detect souls.

Why don’t you explain the contrast between your soul and life on earth….what you believe about karma…what you believe about soul bonds if you believe in them…and your purpose of you believe that.

If you want people to answer your questions, why don’t you explain how you feel about the things you are asking, and why you want to know about how people feel about these things? You must have a reason why you care about how people think about these things, and you must have your own opinions about these things.

I don’t think anyone should tell op their thoughts about the multiple questions they asked until op gives their answers.

It’s rude to ask these questions and not tell people how you feel and why you are asking these questions.

? It would have the power, and does, to detect if there's anything leaving your body at death.
Your "essence" is just your personality, which dies when the brain dies. Any other conceptualization is just conjecture.

If they can't be detected - if there is no evidence for them - then why believe they exist?

I am not an atheist and agree with all of this.

I believe we are souls first, that have been granted a body to experience incarnation with physical and emotional connection with other embodied souls. We learn compassion, empathy, and bad things, like hatred and jealousy. Our job is to know the difference of doing good for just yourself vs. the greater number. We get second chances in other lives.

Because that’s called faith. Not everyone has it. But some people do. If you don’t have faith in anything you cannot see, that’s your right. But you don’t choose what everyone else thinks or believes in.
