Do atheists have souls?

[Anonymous]

I think everyone has a soul. And I also don't believe atheists, or anyone else, is going to hell.

No. You have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior in order to be saved and be granted access to the Kingdom of Heaven. You are a sinner, for we are all sinners. Repent.

that is fucked up, and I'm a Christian.

In what way are you a Christian, swearing like that and swearing like that while you are denying the essential tenets of Christianity?

NP, there is more than one way to be a Christian.

I am not an atheist, but I don't believe people have souls in the traditional sense. I believe our human self-awareness and memory of earthly experiences dies with our physical brain.

I do believe each living and not living (in the biological sense) being is/has a part what some religions call holy spirit and some call God.

So an empty hell, or no hell at all?

I don't believe in hell at all. Of all religious tenets, the concept of hell as a place is the one that should be outright rejected. There is no physical hell. It's a scare tactic and and it serves to make us fear death.

Animals do not have souls.

Yes, of course atheists have souls.

No, we atheists are soulless, evil creatures with no morals at all (because, how can humans act morally when they don't have the fear of going to hell to influence them?)

That's your belief, mine is different, every living being has a soul, animals are living beings, as a Muslim I believe that they have a soul. "There is not an animal in the earth, nor a bird that flies with its wings, but (are) communities like you. Nothing have we neglected from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord." Quran

"Till, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant (female) exclaimed: O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving"

NP but I will bite. There are lots of different interpretations of Christianity. Is that not apparent to you? Views on Christianity are about as wide as you can make them. I would say basic tenet is only that you believe that Jesus Christ was the son of god and that you basically strive to follow the teachings of Christ as best you understand them. What those teachings are is open to interpretation. I personally believe that it is just to try to be a good person, try to forgive, try to be kind. I don't take the central message as one of salvation if I believe because to me trying to be more Christ-like in ones actions is much more important that objectively expressing my beliefs or judging those that don't believe. I am supposed to love those people too.

By definition atheists logically don't believe they have a soul and that everything in the world , including themselves is of no universal significance whatsoever. In the big picture, their feelings, dignity and opinions are no more significant than an ant fart.

Any "reasoning" they construct to assign value to their existence is a more hilarious religion than any they reject.

It's people like you that cause the problems in the world. I long for a day when secularism is the majority. No more wars.
