Also, please give a valid and defendable reason.
Let's leave out the sarcasm for this one folks.
I 'll start: I disagree because I believe we have souls as well as minds and bodies.

Your body is just a vessel much the same as a car we will have it until it is used up then it will be gone. We can even say things that we do not believe. So the only thing we truly have that is ours is our own thoughts, there for we are what we think. We will not get our perfect physical body's until the resurrection during Judgment or just before.

Having a soul is what makes you a living, thinking, and feeling person. You think therefore you are. Now if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound? I can't help it , I learned these 2 things in the same philosophy class.

I too, disagree. Just because you can form a thought, doesn't mean you are. We are more complex than that. The old logic taught is "Mind, body and spirit". Soul = Spirit. Simple as that.

I think I am pretty, therefore I am.
Alright, so, I really don't think this. But, the point is that we all live in our own separate worlds that collide.
You may believe something to be ugly, another will find it beautiful. Same thing with things that taste good, are fun, etc.
It's extremely basic, and very true.

I assume that you refer to the famous sentence from Descartes who said: 'I think, therefore I am'. This is a conclusion, not an equality. The equality does not make much sense; read as a conclusion it is logical and has nothing to do souls, minds and bodies!

I disagree, if I think like this as my perception, so this is me. If i change my mind and I think like that as my perception, So that is me. Everyday we change our perception. So which one is me ? past, present, or future ? There is no 100 % called " I am". I am just a concept of now. But it will change in minutes by minutes so there is no an absolutely " I am"

You are misrepresenting Descartes. He did not say that thinking is equivalent to being. He said that thinking implies existence. He made no statement that existence implies the ability to think. Therefore, your objection is irrelevent.

Even if we have a soul you have no idea that a soul can even think. You just can't know, no matter what you say.

But how do you know that you have a soul unless you thin that you do, thefore because you think you have a soul thefor thou art.
