What do you think of the soul? Do you believe in it? If yes, is it something God gifted upon you? Or is it something different?

When I was younger, I thought that once I die, I just wake up as another person. I think it's because I didn't grasp the concept of dying, but it could still be possible.

My favorite unproveable definition is that the "soul" is a life force which can't be seen, but exists all around us, made up of umpteen trillions of individual units. Just before birth, the baby absorbs the closest "life unit" and carries it until death, when the unit escapes and just floats around until it gets near another creature nearing birth (human or otherwise) and gets sucked in again and powers the organism like a battery until the organism dies, and so on.
And no, I don't think this theory has anything to do with "Star Wars".


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
