What is a soul?

1. the belief that natural objects, natural phenomena, and the universe itself possess souls.
2. the belief that natural objects have souls that may exist apart from their material bodies.
3. the doctrine that the soul is the principle of life and health.
4. belief in spiritual beings or agencies.
-----------------------------------------------------
an·i·mism noun \ˈa-nə-ˌmi-zəm\
1: a doctrine that the vital principle of organic development is immaterial spirit
2: attribution of conscious life to objects in and phenomena of nature or to inanimate objects

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I'm an animist? Oh, right...I didn't know that. In your case, you could go around shouting "you're a solipsist, you're a Satan worshiper, and you, yeah you, you think you're the reincarnate of Napoleon!", to anyone; but of course it's true, because you haven't asked them what they believe; just doing the good ol' hurling phrases around trying to summarize a persons beliefs on a whim. But if it gets you to sleep tonight, then yeah, I am an animist.

Atheists are not animists. Point refuted. Next?

I thought we just ate babies and danced naked under the light of a full moon.
Seriously, I really hate it when people try to tell us what we believe.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well, Thomas, gotta fill all the nights that have no full moons with something. I mean sure, I think I can speak for us all when I say that I'm booked on the full moon until the day I die, but what about the other nights?

Well I guess there is our big holiday Halloween when we welcome our lord Satan to the earth with a huge blood orgy.
That reminds me, I need to call the local abortion clinic to see if they're stocked up on fresh fetuses. I hate running out of food at a party. I wonder if they deliver?
