Things might be helpful if someone could define what "soul" means.
Where, how, why does the concept of "soul" exist? Not the "soul" per se but the concept. Where did that come from?
Is it merely consciousness? Awareness of past and present self with expectation of the immediate future? How would "soul" differ from this and how could one tell?
The answers are likely to be the usual metaphysical, non-emperical, supernatural slop leading to the usual caustic discussions and, ultimately, accomplishing nothing.
But great fun anyway.
