If you don't think you have a soul, then you don't. Simple. Scripture is useless to you.
But, I believe I do have a "soul"! So then, the scripture means something to me.
Now, I'm not going to catholic hell. Yaaaaayyyyy! I simply don't believe in a soul, therefore I don't have one.
So, if you believe something, it automatically makes it true? Interesting logic.. There's people out there that believe in souls, and that ridiculous bible is useless to them.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
