It's stupefying the way theists thrown around terms as if any and everyone should know exactly what is to be meant by them outside of any specific context related to actual situations ("free will," "soul," "necessarily existing prime mover"). I take "soul" to simply mean "self" or "mind," these of course being blanket terms for phenomena that have nothing to do with ghoulish entities or mechanisms that somehow always seem to be used as solutions to every question a person could have...as has been the case since man first figured out he could use signs to convey thoughts.
Yeah, yeah. I see what you mean
Whenever I'm trying to have a serious discussion with someone and I say that people don't have souls, they often accuse me of being "cold hearted" like my scientific evaluation has just caused these souls to evaporate or something. I get it... we have "souls", metaphorically. But I'm no less me, you're no less you, if I scientifically analyze the actual reality of the situation.
