What is my soul made of?
Prior to entering my body where does my soul live?
At what time does a soul enter my body?
Why is the soul not x-rayable (is that a word) or show up on a MRI?
When in my body where is my soul?
How much does a soul weigh?
------
Upon exiting the body:
I must eat food to keep living. What 'powers' a soul?
My brain allows me to hold memories. What allows a soul to remember?
My legs allow me to move around. What allows a soul to move around?
I have eyes to see. How does my soul see?
What point does a soul exit my body?
Do souls goto the bathroom?
Do souls have human desire?
Where do souls go? Isn't it crowded?
-------
How do you know?
-------
My kid asked me these questions - she is 10. I told her they were great questions! However, I pointed out religion is childish, and she need not waste her time with childish things. I explained the soul is a made up story by irrational adults. Therefore since the soul does not exist her questions are meaningless (like questions about Santa I told her).
Possibly, I am mistaken. If anyone can help me with her questions I will take your answers back to her. I am open to meeting anyone in Indianapolis as well - you can explain this to my daughter. It is difficult for me to do so.....
Thanks,

People are not stupid, religion is.

Let's discuss it. Let's start with intelligent answers to my questions. They were taken from the mind of a 10 year old female. So, if you feel it necessary to change them up a little feel free.

Things might be helpful if someone could define what "soul" means.
I am not sure what the hell it is. It seems to be an invisible indestructible part of a human that spends forever in a happy place far far away(like in Shrek 2) with Jesus. I believe the bible suggests God breathed a soul into a man made from dirt.

See above. The soul does matter. It is the part of us the bible says, so I believe, that spends eternal happiness with jesus in heaven.

I am confused
I am confused too, Brother. So, souls are not real? Then why do Christians, and other religions insist they are? That sounds stupid - obviously the person who believes this crap is not stupid, I would never dare say that..... Just the belief in a soul is stupid if it ain't real.
Souls don't eat chicken - BTW, can't fool me.
I am still really confused.... Then when I die what part of me, do Christians believe, spends forever & ever with the holy of holy kings?

I'm saying that if I feel a soul, then it is sensible for me to believe that that soul exists. I don't think that is evidence for you to believe in souls, but it is for me myself.
I wish someone would babble off that sort of thing to my face - then I could spit in their face.
I feel as if my penis is 9 inches long when I am really drunk, the women I am with never feel this. My feelings have nothing to do with a reality. I might want to convince myself of this stupid fact, I bet I could.
I bet a rapist can feel his penis in a womans vagina prior to destroying her life forever. Well, if he can feel it, it is a reality to him - what is the harm in making one final connection he assumes. He has already done it in his mind, it is only sensible for him to believe the rape has taken place. Most rapists start out this way with pornography. Then they cinch(spelling) the deal with the act. My serial killer books seem to put it at 2-4 years later.
I am amazed at the linguistic contortions or hoops a theist goes through to attempt to make himself feel logical in the presence of reality.
The fact you feel you have a soul, for which their is no evidence.... Actually, all evidence except for a few words in the bible seems to conclusively suggest it is not real does not make it real.
We have many people in mental institutions who have been locked up for our protection because of such delusions. Because something has felt real to them yet held no basis in reality. I am shocked why religion is the trump card. Why the heck are theists allowed to act delusional while other delusional people are locked away, medicated or excommunicated - not tolerated.
I think(no scratch that). I know 60% of the problem is non-theists making excuses for comments like:

Belief ignorant, stupid, caring, delusional, psychotic, good or not all lead to action. One can only assume a delusional/psychotic belief will lead to a similar action.
I am tired of idiots. I challenge the mods to post this. Then I challenge people like CS to visit me:
