Do atheists believe they have souls? (no offense)?

Answer 1

If I had a soul, you would think I could dance better.

Answer 2

I don't know if they do but I can tell you we all do. We all will also be raised from the dead where our souls will be reunited with our earthly bodies someday just like Jesus has already done when he was resurrected. The dead in Christ will rise first and later, at the end of time, all non believers will be raised. Here's what the book of Revelation in the Bible has to say about that moment.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books... If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (rev 20:12;15)

The good news is life doesn't have to end like this. Jesus made a way for every single human being to be forgiven of all their sins when he died on the cross. All we have to do is accept, believe and repent and we don't have to face an end in the lake of fire. He gives us a choice; do the research and you will find there is a God and His name is Jesus.

Answer 3

Whether you want to call it a personality, consciousness, or soul makes no difference to me.

The question I believe you are really asking is, Do we believe the personality or consciousness or soul survives the death of the body? I don't rule out that possibility, although the older I get the less important the question seems. The people who fear death the most are the ones who have lived the least.

Answer 4

I'm an atheist, and I don't believe any part of me is going to survive my physical death. Though some atheists may believe that they have souls, the association of these ideas is relatively uncommon. The soul is mainly associated with the afterlife, and this is usually emphasized in theistic belief systems. Buddhists, who do not believe in a God, also tend to reject the idea of souls.

Answer 5

I think that most do not.

However, as an example, Buddhists do not believe in a deity and so are atheists. But for reincarnation to take place something has to travel from generation to generation. So some atheists must believe in something soul like.

Answer 6

A soul is not necessarily the ghost that floats up out of your body when you die. Im not sure what I believe in right now but I do believe I have a good soul :)

Answer 7

I imagine I have a soul, but I know I don't really. I have a brain, and my brain feels like a soul.
Why did you add (no offense) to your question? How could that question be an offense?

Answer 8

I don't profess to know if I do or not.

I do profess to know, however, that if I do have a "soul", there is nothing supernatural about it. It's simply another facet of the universe that we currently do not understand.

Therefore, a primitive man's "magic" theory on what a soul is holds no more water for me than his belief that a "god" makes the wind blow, when we already understand and know better.

Answer 9

No, I haven't seen one on any medical chart. Of course, I admit I am not a medical professional. But as far as I know, there is nothing in the body called a soul.

Answer 10

Souls is different from ghost, the character is different. The culture is different. Souls in the westhern society is everlasting subject after dead. Easthern ghost is a subject after dead but waiting for recreation.
Souls is waiting for granted from god. Ghost is waiting for fulfil willing and to recreation.

Answer 11

You're asking a group of people who have only a single commonality, being without theism. Any answer you get will only apply to that one person and not all atheists.

It would be like asking all non-sports fans do they like anchovies on their pizza.

I feel like giving you a star just for spelling it correctly and not capitalizing the 'a'.

Reverend Soleil, you just told someone that they don't believe they have a soul...
