Do humans have a soul?

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

As for my quoting method: I prefer it, will keep doing it, and whoever doesn't care for it can ignore my posts (and, mebbe, pound sand).
You don't have a "quoting method" since you don't quote. Sometimes it's not even clear to whom or what you're referring. Your method is the coward's method since there's never an indication in the mailbox that you actually replied.

I agree, and he's also insufferably arrogant, but I don't find his 'method' as annoying as the 'split into bitesize bits' method practised by the likes of Arising UK. There is often no way of telling who they are adressing, or where the original post is. Is it because they can't write a complete paragraph, and need 'space to recover' between sentences?

sometimes humans talk about, that they would have NO soul.
Thats not understandable for me, because i think everybody must have a soul!
So i cant explain, why we should have no souls.

Soul is the aura, thé comprehensive part of our body.
The body of us is underlined with body, mind and soul.
To integrate those three parts is very interesting for me in my life.
So my aim is, to focus to bring those three parts in one way together to be lucky.

So the mind is not the soul, and the sojul is not the mind. The mind is under our soul.

What do you think bout those thinkings?

Best greetings
Dominik
Dominik, you are thinking too small.

Everybody has seven souls, dogs have 28, and large felines, 343.

This is an established fact if you believe me.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen any recent news items about proofs for the existence of oxygen or recent discoveries regarding the prevalence of gravity.

The BBC should really up its game.

While at "annoying", I hate it when people who say they read a lot, they put a space between a word and the following comma or period, and leave no space between the period or comma and the word following it. Like this .Why are people morons ?I don't know ,but it sure annoys me ..

Oh, and the double period.. One is not enough for them kurvafejűek.. And if someone tells them ,"hey, moron, why the double point ?"Then they just keep on doing it as if nothing has happened..

Later edit by -1-: (Like an annoying imbecile?) By -1-: strike this, it is a misquote, my apologies
Because he is, in my humble opinion.

Henry is a benign imbecile though. He believes in infinite simplifying. And other than altering the subject in any thread, his learning curve is flat.

I like Henry Quirk, though. Just as much as I like my bedbugs, my pet tapeworm and my wonderful leper bacteria.

But I can understand why he sticks to his guns, with regard to his annoying and ignorant habits. I'm sure he'd agree with this: If we successfully convinced Henry to correct all his annoying habits, then there would be nothing left of him.

In that case, Immanuel, please feel free to doubt their existence. If you can convince yourself there is such a thing as a soul, convincing yourself that oxygen and gravity don't exist should be a piece of cake. Unless, of course, you don't believe in cake.

You can simplify your solution even further into absolute simplicity, notwithstanding your near invisible dot which is what most of your posts amount to anyways, by disappearing completely so we can ignore ALL of you at the same time. That would be the ultimate simplification.

Cake, unlike like souls, is not something so utterly obvious that we simply can't get along without it.

That is, unless you have no soul, in which case I'm not talking to anyone.

There is no such body part as a soul.

Is that a made up 'quote'? I can't find it. I don't recall calling Henry an imbecile.

If they didn't exist then we wouldn't be around to discuss it.
'Proof' is conclusive. You can't have more than one 'proof' when used in that sense (unless, of course, you were referring literally to newspaper 'proofs').

Ask about soul to them who proclaim to have one and they can't figure out what it's for either. One will NEVER get an answer as to what it's supposedly for. Ask and you'll receive a tweedledee tweedledum answer as dum as the idea itself; the only possible response to something impossible to justify.

...but when used as metaphor the concept becomes mentally visible, viable and valuable.
