The immortality of the soul is a Platonic myth perpetrated by religionists to coerce the gullible.

Well, your premise makes it very hard to explain anything, let alone prove its existance, as those things are essentially what make up almost the entire human besides a physical body and a concience. But I personally believe that the soul is extraplanar, and can interact under certain circumstances. I have no idea what those circumstances are, but it explains poltergeists and hauntings. Ghosts or spirits (the restless souls of the departed) when seen are often mostly just a gaseous emission of the gasses released from the corpse mixxed with gasses in the air, often seen in peat bogs where a body is buried and a green "spectre" will rise the next day/night from where the corpse is, and then slowly evaporate. But I have personally been to an insanitorium and seen things that shouldnt be, so I might be a bit baised.

Ok.
Here it is Classical argument for soul based on reasoning.
Consider this: All human feeling are completely internal and are not possible to describe. Two people might say that they feel pain in the left knee -- but how do we know that their pain is the same? This question is not resolvable by science. Even if one were to understand the brain perfectly -- on would still not experience what the owner of the brain experiences.
Consider the case of color-blind neurosurgeon. He might know everything about perception of color -- he might know varying there is to know about color. YET he will never to know what it is like to perceive color.
So brain states are not the same as the state of MIND or perceptions. So if the perceptions are not the states of the brain -- what are they? we don't know what it is -- But it can be defines as "soul"
P.S.
To summarize the argument is NOT base on a bare fact of emotions, reasoning, feelings. It is based on INTERNAL nature of feelings.

Yes, I am still breathing! While the Soul is in the body, it is learning from the experiences of life. When the body dies and I cease to breathe anymore, the Soul leaves the body and returns to the Bardo-Spiritual Realm

The soul drives the body. Like time, wind and radioactivity- it cant be seen. However, we can see the effect and affect it has over the body.
How you can prove it exist ? assemble all the organic and inorganic parts of the human body together. See if your construction or reconstruction will bring "living" unison to the "whole"

Yes. I have eye-witness reports from relatives who had near-death experiences. I have a more limited kind of experience as well. The thing is, that you have to study spiritual things and pray to be ready for bigger answers. From a Mormon point of view, I believe that your spirit is made of more refined physical matter, and it looks just like you - but in your prime of life.

well, i believe that i've lost my soul
i think people do have souls; they just get lost sometimes.
when you look at a picture of someone, look at their eyes... it's very easy to discern that "empty" look... i have that in my pictures, and i see it in others. for some reason, it isn't seen as clearly in "real life"
you may think i'm a blubbering fool, but i'm serious.
it's all in the eyes, my friend.
peace, please help me find my soul,
emily
