If however such a thing were to exist then it is mine. Why should it belong to, or go to another entity? I’d rather it be destroyed than become the play thing of a benevolent (or not so benevolent) entity. Let it escape.

Perhaps you were just being preëmptive, but at the point you posted this, no one had brought up what happens with the soul after death, or even how long it exists afterward.  Plus, there are quite a few belief systems in which souls do not remain distinct and isolated.  After all, if one thinks of the soul as being analogous to water in a bucket, then one should expect that once you kick the bucket the water would mix together with other water.

The question posed by the OP did not confine itself to the Abrahamic traditions concerning the soul.

Neither did my responses (unlike BushOK). Yet you seem a tad perturbed that I brought it up; why?

You focused upon one tradition at a point where the conversation was still generalist in nature and the arguments you have made against the existence of the soul all pertain to one particular conception of the soul - that of an atomic soul which is indivisible and incombinable.

That's understandable in your case.  You're a lawyer. Grin

I use to have a soul, but then I started being a part of the 2012 Boards.
