Do you people have souls or are you all an illusion?

I believe you copied these words from a book. Nice try. There is no correct answer for you as this is not your postulation.

Nice words, nice thought and a very deep subject. This is philosophy dissertation by someone else. By the way, many excellent minds think that souls are an illusion created to control the masses with made up concepts that cannot be proven.

Postulated, present it, repeat and repeat and repeat for a few hundred years and a religion has developed. The Catholic Church developed an excellent system that has existed for hundreds of years. It works for them.P.S. free will does not need a hyphen.

Good luck. P.S.S. If this is your work, I suggest Prosac as a drug that might assist in your search for the solution you are asking here.

Your psychological contortions are entertaining, indeed. When you are tired of driving yourself nuts, hear this. You are alive enough to type out your question in English, you eat food and sit on a toilet like the rest of us.

Therefore, chances are very good that you have a soul. . .

Like the rest of us.

We are each a miniature reality, an illusion that has come and gone, a cloud of dreams in the sky of being, floating, dissipating, than rising again. Please watch these two combined for optimal awakening: 1. youtube.com/watch?v=mNo2vWrUN… 2.

Then it is nothing more than an abstract idea. So do I believe every human being has a soul,yes I do believe that. I don't think your the only one that realizes that though.

But nice question anyways.

I have no soul. I am not an illusion. And I lost interest in the rest of your question after the first grammar-less sentence.

To me souls are a made up feature to represent all that is good in a person. If you're asking if I really exist... I don't know the answer to that. I do know that benefiting from answers of that question on yahoo answers is unlikely.

I also know that even though I might not truly exist, it would hurt if you drove a stake through my heart. :(.

If you really want to know anything at all, begin by asking the first question: does a soul exists at all; does God exist; what is freedom... Because there are really two ways to go about this problematic circumstance: one is to question everyone of your thought and honestly do so, even with the prospect of having to renounce to any one of them -- even those which are dearest to you --; or else, the second one proposes to begin with a set of answers and find which answer you want to hear. People who like to be comforted do not truly ask question, do not truly bother about truth and do not really want to know; all they want is a form social approbation and listen to people telling them how right they were all that time. But as we may tell, your behavior will speak for itself.

Either you are wondering and behave like a philosopher, like a scientist; or you are not, yet pretend to be, holding between us and you, a veil of questions that have as only purpose convincing yourself more than us that you did look up and did ask, even if it's not true.

It all depends on your philosophy, religion, culture, and ideas. Souls may be human conscience or they may be an actual abstract thing. I believe that humans have some form of spiritual power residing in their subconscious and may have something controlling their brains, but it truly depends on what you think.

There is no true answer to this question...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
