If one assumes a loving, benevolent Creator, absolutely. If not... all bets are off.
I believe that we all have souls. I don't believe in some *man* in a whitebeard sitting up in heaven looking down on us. But souls? yes we have those.
I don't mean to rag on anyone but, quoting Nixon, I want to make it "perfectly clear" it was Lil that said "I believe that we all have souls. I don't believe in some *man* in a whitebeard sitting up in heaven looking down on us. But souls? yes we have those."

But since we're there, I believe there probably is something one might call "a soul." Is it anything like what tradition says it is? ... who knows. Most likely, not. I think each and every one of us, when we die, will be surprised by how different the afterworld is from the propaganda and our misperceptions... if there's anything at all. ...if we even realize that we HAVE died.

What is the soul actually like? Who knows. And maybe that's all just a fairy tale.
