I'd hate it if my name was Ronald Soul. Imagine getting letters addressed to Mr R Sole. That's nearly as bad as being Richard Swipe.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

The Ancient Egyptian mythos goes back quite aways as does their civilization.

I actually knew a bloke called Willy Wakker.

Years ago, I had a department (not mine) who had a supplier of high end audio gear called Joe King. This reached a pinnacle of hilarity when he brought in a assistant called Mickey Staines.

Do you remember that Irish politician Dick Spring?.. Always made me chuckle when he was on the news.

I used to think that the "Damage of the middle of the brain leads to two distinct personalities governing halves of the body." was an argument that would convince anybody, but, evidently, it won't. See here:
How do people who believe in souls explain away the fact that epileptic patients who have the middle of their brain severed appear to have two distinct personalities governing halves of their bodies?
In short, people respond with "Where is some reliable source for that claim?", and, to be honest, I am not sure what would be a reliable source for this. My psychology textbook saying that isn't really good evidence that's true, is it? I mean, my Croatian history textbook tells me most scientists agree Global Flood really happened.
Perhaps the best response to that is "And where is some reliable source of the claims about Maria's Shoe, and other things that supposedly prove the existence of soul?", what do you think?
NEARLY ALL HISTORIANS AND SCHOLARS AGREE THAT THERE WAS A MAN CALLED JESUS AND HE WAS CRUIFIED.

How exactly does one get 'cruified'? Is it something to do with salad dressing?

Bit like agreeing there was a guy named joe who drank beer.
