6. I would like to test this....
all I have to do is: figure out what a soul *is*, OR maybe a guess as to what it's made of, OR where it's located, OR some way we could actually *find* one, OR detect its presence or past presence.

I'm not trying to bust your chops, I just don't see how one can even ask the question of who has souls, (or even figure out if I believe souls exist) unless we have *some* kind of idea what we're actually talking about.

I don't even know if I believe souls exist, because no one has ever told me what the thing is that they're referring to as a soul in a way that I can understand, you know?

"God" is a little different, because if you ask what 'god' is, most people will say something like "a being..." and follow up with some characteristics. That I can understand, even if the being is magical, like a god, at least I have somewhere to start figuring out something to think about the question.

Souls just leave me completely at a loss.
