For 2000 years nobody had a problem with the concept of a soul. Why is it such a bother to you now?
The more we understand about the body and mind, the less these superstitious beliefs can hide in ignorance. Before we had any idea about the mind-brain functionality, we imagined all sorts of nonsense, like evil spirits causing epilepsy and a draught causing colds. Does anyone think that cats steal the breath of babies? We did for centuries. Why did we quit thinking that?

It's the part of you that imagines and thinks.
That's the result of brain activity. What might convince me otherwise?
