If a soul destroyed itself it would be impossible for a god to rebuild it in any case because according to theology the person has ceased to exist, they can't be brought back.
Think we've just found a theological limit to omnipotence here. Gods can't influence what no longer exists.
Sigh, I'm so bored...
How did they build us in the first place then? Gods are tricky buggers...
Most non-existent things are.
RE: topic - "You" only exist as a secondary back-up construct in your neuron signals in a single two or three second interval. You don't remember 99% of your life, and 99% of the remaining 1% is pretty much made up anyway. I'm guessing death for 78 year old you is just as forgetful as death for 13 year 4 month 12 day 3 hour 15 minute and 20 second old you. There's just not a 23 second old you to pretend you're still the same.
