Soul or souless?

[lrh9]

Problem is the characteristics of this alleged 'soul' have ostensibly been shown to be properties of the brain/mind.

Memory, perception, emotion, personality, mannerisms, consciousness, morality, beliefs, etc.

Take away all that and any alleged 'soul' is nothing.

Yet all of them are clearly not anything to do with the soul to me, and I'd suggest nothing at all to do with the Christian concept. You've said already lrh9 that your definition is not the same as mine. I don't discount your opinion at all lrh9, it's an interesting idea.

Kind of hard to feel Hell when you can no longer feel because your brain and body have decomposed.
Kind of hard to have a personal relationship with a God when you can no longer memorize, think, or even exist as an emotional and personality rich being because your brain and body have decomposed.

Face it. Mind/brain characteristics and body characteristics essentially cover what it is to be human. You can introduce no new characteristics by inventing the concept of a soul. Name only one. I'll wait.
