Arguments against Soul

[FlatAssembler]

What do you guys here think, what is the best argument against the existence of the soul (and therefore ghosts and afterlives)?
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?

Bring me a pound, inch, or gallon of soul - and THEN we will consider what one is.

The best argument against soul is the same argument against any figment of imagination for which there’s neither any sort of evidence nor even minimally credible argument for it whatsoever - there is neither any sort of evidence nor minimally credible argumenr for it whatsoever.

Whare is the soul supposed to be located in the body, and how can you tell?
Is there a big bank of souls foating around just waiting to slot into a new born body?
The idea just seems silly

[LadyForCamus]

“That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”

No argument necessary.

That we’re just molecules in motion. Moist robots.

Let's see

Non-Scientologists Joel Sappell and Robert Welkos described in a 1990 article in the LA Times how Scientologists believe that when a person dies—or, in Scientology terms, when a thetan abandons its physical body—they go to a "landing station" on the planet Venus, where the thetan is re-implanted and told lies about its past life and its next life. The Venusians take the thetan, "capsule" it, and send it back to Earth to be thrown into the ocean off the coast of California. They quote Hubbard as saying, "If you can get out of that, and through that, and wander around through the cities and find some girl who looks like she is going to get married or have a baby or something like that, you're all set. And if you can find the maternity ward to a hospital or something, you're OK. And you just eventually just pick up a baby."

How do I debunk that?

Since theists are so fond of redefining simple words to suit their own ends, I shall emulate them and redefine 'soul' as the sum total of an individual's memories and experiences.

Souls exist.
