If you don't believe in God, do you believe in souls? Do you think you have a soul?

I don't believe in souls or think that I have a soul. Souls are a religious concept - no evidence of their actual existence.

There is no "evidence" for love, either, but I'm guessing you believe in that. [/quote

Actual PP here. There is evidence for love. Emotions can be observed using brain scans.

No, love can't be seen on a brain scan. The brain's reponse to love can be seen on a brain scan. Big difference. Kind of like a lightbulb shows electricity. Giving off light is just a symptom of electricity. The brain's reaction to love is just a symptom.

You'll want to show why that "brain's response" isn't "love", but rather a symptom. That's like arguing there's no such thing as "blue": only wavelengths on the visible light spectrum and brain responses. [/quote]

What is arguing that?  There is no way to prove that what I see as "blue" is the same thing you see as "blue." We can prove that blue = certain wavelengths and that eveyone can look at something and agree it is blue, we can't know what the other is seeing.  We just can't.l

On a lighter note, this is often why I think there is "a lid for every pot" in the dating world.  There are plenty of people out there who are dating and even married who I think are h i d e o u s.  But someone else looked at them and thought "woah, gotta get me some of that." That is pretty good proof that we don't all see the same things.  [/quote]
