And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.

    Define to me concretely what constitutes a soul, and I will tell you. Do cats have souls? What about frogs? Snails? Amoebas? Trees? Or people on life support?

    I have a self-aware consciousness. If that’s what counts, then yes. However, this means that many people by the same definition don’t.

      Only correct answer here. First define “soul”. So far no human has ever been able to define it, so how do we know if we have one?
