Back in bible times, the soul was connected to the element of air. Meaning jews believed the soul entered the body at birth. So I don't know where they get that sperm have souls. Aside from their desperate need to control people's sex lives. Do they even realize that, at best, only one sperm even gets to an egg for pregnancy to happen? Meaning so many souls would be bound to die by default.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

That's a lot of souls...

But even if we grant them that (and ignore the astronomic numbers of souls which are discarded by nature all the time) - the question remains: If I don't even remember or recognize my own mother or my own children if I just get some plaque on my neurons, what does the soul do for me that has any meaning?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Octopi have souls. So do starfish. Church of the Holy Octopus. Church of the Chocolate Starfish. You must worship buns up kneeling at either of these institutions.

I believe the term "spoim", "spoims", or "spoimatozoa" should be used when specifically referring to the idea of sperm imbued with the presence of a soul or souls. 

Just sounds more earnest, I think.

It must just totally screw with god that there are 4 immortal human cell lines that escape it's intervention.
