If the existence of an enduring soul was proven...
#21
RE: If the existence of an enduring soul was proven...
It wouldn't change because I still don't know which religion is right and why would that soul be connected to any religion in the first place.
For instance Scientologists believe that when you die your soul goes to the airport on the Venus where the Venusians fill it with lies and then return it in a box and throw it on earth somewhere in the waters around California. I mean is that any more credible than Muslim version of 72 virgins or Christian version?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
