A soul, like lots of forms of woo, represents an intellectual short cut. Just make up some flowery language to describe things, rather than put in the work to find out how things actually function in reality. It's fine to use the flowery language, as long as you are aware you are being metaphorical.

Some people allow what they find acceptable and unacceptable to influence their reasoning. Reality doesn't care if you find it acceptable or not.
Feel free to send me a private message.
