If your "soul" can't keep you self-aware in low-frequency deep sleep, not even to dream, what makes you think you'll have awareness when your brain is dead and producing no waveforms at all?
If the "soul" is where the "you" exists, why can't these asshats explain the personality changes, sometimes quite drastic, that can occur after severe head trauma? Or, split personalities following a corpus callosotomy. It seems to me that "souls" are a convenient way to say "I really don't know fuck-all about this" without having to admit that you really know fuck-all about it. Of course, with GC's propensity to deny science and try to pass off woo as science, I'd have to guess that knowing fuck-all is his default state.
You want me to answer a post you should direct it towards me. The soul is a created thing, it's there for us to be able to communicate with God, it is who we are spiritually. It does interact with the physical us as long as we are allowing God to be in our lives. The Holy Spirit speaks to our soul (heart) to convict us of our wrongs in life. The soul can't be a part of any science because it is spirit and undetectable by the physical sciences. I do not deny science and you know that, why you keep saying such is beyond me. I do not pass off woo as science, just because you can't answer science questions I pose from time to time doesn't make the question woo. Of coarse you're not going to like any of the above answer but then I doubt you like/care about anything Christians say.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
