@padriac - I believe there is something different from the three. I wasn't attempting to put you or anyone on the spot for their atheism. I recognize I asked a question about a soul on an atheist forum. I also wasn't trying to convey something absolute as "Well I know I have a soul and it's not eternal". It was actually more of a poll on whether or not people here would endeavor to see the possibility enough to imagine it's attributes. If someone tells me to imagine santa and asks me to describe his suit I could do it, whether I believed in it or not. I also wanted to poll the theists (who believe in a soul) on here and see what their basis for their beliefs about the attributes of a soul was.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
