Soul Proprietorship
There is as much evidence supporting the existence of the 'soul' as there is supporting that of vampires, zombies, and angels. That's not to say I'm certain there is no such thing as vampires and zombies (sixty percent of Americans, I kid you fucking not, believe in angels), and there's actually a chance they could exist. A classic test question for students working on probabilities goes something like this: "what are the odds that you will suddenly disappear from this room and reappear in the room next to this one?" You can actually calculate the probability of things like this (0.0000000000001). With the odds being so similar I wonder why people who buy the 'soul' story don't take the whole vampire/zombie/witch package too, oh yes, and angels. A trillion SECONDS ago Neanderthals stalked the misty plains of Europe. Man has been here for less than a billion HOURS. I live in the Dark Ages. I should have been born 1,000 years from now (or 10,000). My eternal thanks to Mencken & Carlin before the lights go out and 75% of Americans stop trying to shove their retarded fucking imaginary friends down my throat.

a bit " romantic" of a post for you . not a solid as others.
as an old friend [ well actually accquaintence once said] Mr B. [ a.k.a billy] Shakespeare stated
there are more things in heaven and earth than dreamed of in your philosophy
if only shakespeare had said that!... but it was that nutty fuckin prince of denmark, Hamlet that said that to horatio while horatios whining about the ghost. but hamlet was filled with bullshit... words, words, words... he was "pretending" to be insane for a large part of the play... or was he pretending? hamlet was as full of shit as pat robertson, martin luther king jr., and the pope.

As Stephen Roberts said to a Christian: "I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods you will understand why I dismiss yours."
