do you really believe you don't have soul?. oh man, it makes sense, if you disbelieve in the most thing that is attach inside of you, then how can you believe in God?
when you were created inside your mother, what made your heart to beat the first beating? who activate it your body to move? how did you become live after when you were dead?

truly, a person who is far away from God, feels like he has no soul. and yes animals do have souls, anything that breaths has a soul. how blind can you be. who activated your dead body inside your mother, you are very stubborn.

The term soul is a vague, confused one that can mean many different things. As a metaphor for the inner-self or personality or consciousness - this might be an acceptable thing to many atheists.
I really don't think you or many other Christians really understand the metaphysical conception of the soul as something that was developed by Greek philosophical models at Christianity's beginning and further modified by theologians and philosophers over many centuries.
The concept of a soul as spiritual substance able to exist independently of the body existing in a kind of immaterial state owes more to Platonism and Neo-Platonism than it does to the Hebrew tradition.

As an athiest I know that I have soul. I can get down with the brothers any day of the week and groove in some of the classics of R&B.
But then again I do not have a soul. No such thing.

Didn't we already go over this "soul" thing a few weeks ago?It's one of the "great debates" that atheists have with people - the existence of God and the existence of a soul.
I don't believe in the "soul" in the mystical / biblical / magic sense that many folk attribute to one's existence.
I believe that our personalities and our memories, our intellectual and emotional experiences shape us and make us who we are as people. If you change my memories or my experiences - you change who I am as a person. When I begin to die - my memories and knowledge will fade as the chemicals break down in my brain. After that, my biological substance (my body) becomes fodder for worms or disposed of as my remaining friends & family desire. I cease to exist after that except in the memories of those I leave behind.

If it's attatched to my inside, would you be so kind as to explain as to explain where exactly it is? You can email me using my profile page. Thank you.
Also, maybe you ought to consider whether maybe it could (just possibly) be electrical activity in the brain that causes life? Just an idea, and (oh what a surprise) every single respected study into electrical activity within the brain agrees with this. How surprising.

Since you believers insist that animals don't have souls, why don't you explain what makes their hearts start beating and what activates their body to move?

Humans are very similar to animals in the matter of being born so you must think that animals have souls.
Personally I believe that souls do not exist.

Soul has different meanings. One of them is life. In that sense all living creatures have souls.
As for soul, an immortal, indestructible entity that leaves after a person dies, there is not much support for it in the Bible.
"....the soul that sinneth, it shall die."(Ezekiel 18:4).
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt. 10:28)
In both instances "soul" refers to life.

I don't believe I have a mystical, supernatural appendage. If that's what you define as a soul, I mean. You can't point to it - you can't say "it lives here, in this organ". How can you know that you have one?
As to your questions, I don't know what did all these things. But they all happen in in moose, mice, cats, and cows. Do you believe they have souls? If not, they why do you think a human embryo needs divine intervention, but they don't?

Of course Atheist believe in a soul, silly billy, they just pretend they don't to pull the Christians leg.
The above was sarcasm and so not to be taken seriously. Come back after you have taken a crash course in Biology.

I can understand why some Atheists believe they don't have a soul. What is hard to understand is why some Christians believe they don't have a brain.
