Your reply did nothing to invalidate mine.

It did. I said that the mind is not the same thing as the soul. Your anecdote about the brain in connection with the mind is off topic.

You made an assertion. Simply because it contradicts my own that does not mean it falsifies my own.

I have no issue with you making comments on the main/ brain connection. As I have illustrated tho', this is off topic.

The topic is whether or not there is a human soul.

Stating that the 'soul' is the mind/brain addresses that topic.

And I was talking to the original poster.

Frodo- if the soul is not the mind. then what is the soul, if it isn't memory or personality?

Isn't the soul a made up concept to try and explain what takes control of our bodies? That is until we learned about the brain and how it functions.

There is no evidence for a "soul" or "spirit" inside our bodies.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
