Do we have souls?

[Starboard Tack]

144. If you want to have a discussion with me I'll be happy to oblige.

But that is not going to happen if you continue to be condescending and dismissing everything I say as nonsense. Try to show some respect please if you seriously want me to answer your questions. And if you are genuinely curious, then please be patient. We'll get to the "soul" part eventually. One step at a time. It's called evolution.

Now, the universe will go on after you and I are gone. Good. I believe it will go on forever and I believe it has existed forever, even before the big bang and after the next big whatever. That's what I mean by infinity, or eternity. The infinite nature of time and space, or the infinite nature of existence. (Not personal, individual existence, just existence). If one accepts that, then why refute the concept of infinite possibilities, including parallel universes, metaphysics, ufos, souls, ghosts etc. instead of dismissing them out of hand. It's like someone who only speaks and understands only one language thinking those who speak different tongues are speaking nonsense. Nonsense, like beauty, is in the eye, or ear, or mind of the beholder.

Just because some religions espouse the idea of a soul and eternity doesn't mean the rest of us are excluded. They don't own the rights any more than they own the truth.
