It does this because "soul" is a construct not attached to reality. It's a misattribution of our internal experience to an external location (and a convenient place to attach our desires for immortality, or reward/retribution). Here's an interesting thing to ponder over, with regards to souls. Can you conceive of the idea of "spiritual suicide"? Can you imagine your soul being in such a horrible place that you would endeavor to remove yourself from existence entirely? Strange as it seems, I'd be willing to wager that many of us would rather spend an eternity in hell, in existence, than to cease existing altogether if those were the only choices offered. The survival imperative at play.
If your soul touches a health pack you die and go to the land of the double dead.
Though seriously I think you are allowed to suicide your soul. If there is a hell, I'd think it would be more of a test instead of eternal. You either give up or keep going. Oh and they don't tell you it's a test. The afterlife is a cruel place ain't it.
I think most people would choose death too. Enough torment even the most death fearing people can give up.
This is stupid
