if you are souless, well good luck to you
Please define what you mean by 'soul', this thing that distinguishes us from those ravaging wild beasts..
gee thats a hard one, why do we listen to music, why do we give and donate time to people we don't know to the needy, why do we cry, we do we go and get drunk, we do we care about a planet and mankind when it will last our days, why do we have compassion for caged chimps.
i can't bottle and tag it unfortunately
Well if thats what you define soul then fine, I wouldn't imagine anybody would deny having that.. But then we can't deny animals don't have this definition of a soul either.. Cats are curious, Dogs are loyal, Dogs get upset, lonely, frightened, defensive. Chimps display all the same emotions as humans, emotions don't separate us from other animals.. So this isn't a strong argument for holding Humans as above all animals..
But the most common definition of a soul is this..
From my Macs dictionary;
Soul- the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
This definition is the one used when most people talk about a soul, and it's why I inferred 'your God', which was a calculated guess..
