I kinda do but I believe that a soul is just what drives a person in their lifetime. It is made up of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. After a person dies their soul goes too and that’s the end of it.
I don’t believe it, but I some times wonder if some kind of self is preserved as energy within the universe somehow. Effectively being a soul, but in a sense of physics more than spirituality. Much like how the physical body will decay and return to the earth, the energy that makes up consciousness could simply return to the universe.
I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.
No. All evidence points towards “you” being nothing more than your body. Mess with the brain and the whole personality can change. What would then constitute the soul if it’s completely divorced from both physical reality and who you subjectively are as a person?
