I'm not sure about everybody, but some clearly don't.
@NerdyPotato yes, I agree with this sentiment

No. My grandmother went to church but didn't like their doctrines as she read her bible differently. Can't remember where it is now but there is a scripture that says 'the soul dies'. So a clash with the church there methinks.

@mossyboots I don't like that word, either, for the same reason, but I believe in a spirit. Do you?
mossyboots · 51-55, F
@ItsMeMorgue Not human ones.

@mossyboots Interesting. That is the answer of someone who has seen some stuff. I like it.

Sorry about the puerile comment but as a boy i was a chorister and we loved to sing the words "our souls"...well, we were young and it made us giggle!

You know....im not sure.
I used to call it a soul for lack of a better word, (and still do sometimes).
I'm leaning towards us being 'beings of energy', stuck in meat bags.
I like the idea that we potentially finally get released when our meat bag expires.

i would call it more of a "consciousness" but definitely, yes. i can remember mine entering my body when i was little and feeling jarred and confused, i can remember dying when it happened to me while i was in the hospital and i can recall coming back and i am not religious. i was "consciously aware" at a certain point that i was separate from my body and that i was dead.
@DancingStarGoddess yes, I remember that too

No, I never have been able to convince myself that we aren't just pure individual biology plus the sum of our experiences.

Yes, I do believe we have souls..
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
Yes,we do.
MoveAlong · 70-79, M
I'm in the not very likely we have a soul crowd.
I think all life is one big connected, fluid soul. There is only you here.

Not sure what exactly that belief is, but I am sure I am not the first person to have imagined this. @ItsMeMorgue

@deathfairy The Vedanta is a book in the Hindu religion. Between it and the Bhagavad Gita, I think you would find it fascinating reading. The short version is exactly as you said, that we're all one being role-playing as 8 billion or so separate beings.
I love this. I didn’t know there was an entire sublet of belief or religion for it. @ItsMeMorgue

I believe so. They have some type of energy force in them that lives on after their body dies.

100% yes.

After we die, we will all know but it will be too late by then. Until such time, keep wondering.
ItsMeMorgue · 46-50, F
A soul or a spirit, and I'm not sure what the difference is.

Nope, R&B.

The body wouldn't function without a soul. When we appear to die and leave the lifetime, the body itself doesn't die; it's the soul that merely steps away from the body.
The body of itself is nothing but flesh and bones, but the soul is the life energy that energizes and animates the body as long as the soul remains with the body at all times, until death do they part.

@swirlie I agree with you

Zero evidence.

Buddha said there is no such thing as a soul.
FreeLittleBird · F
Some. Not all
Those who are void of conscience have no soul like a psychopath.
