~Opinions~ discussion

What do you think?

Personaly, i think every living thing does. ((Except maybe plants...but idk on that one...)) I think everything that has a personality or opinion does. Everything that thinks and lives. I think that your soul is just a spirit as your body is just a host.

If you disagree and think we do not have souls, give me one good reason.

Yeah, sure. We do.

Kinda, yeah. I suppose. I dunno. It's i funny little thing, but I'd like to believe that we have one.

Also, I believe I heard recently that scientists have discovered some electric current that run trough our body, and they don't know what it is. So... maybe?

Maybe...but don't rest your faith in the hands of scientists... ((Mind you i'm not saying they're wrong...))

Why not? People rest their faith in the hands of scientists every day, and that seems to work out pretty well for most.

Scientists are people like us. They can't aaalways be right.

But that wasn't what I said. I said: "People rest their faith in the hands of scientists every day, and that seems to work out pretty well for most"

And they do, and it does. You see it on hospitals every day, though I don't know how much of you life you've spend on a hospital.

Oh me? Not too long lol. I mean I've been sick for a while and broken a few bones but that's all :P you?

Well, I've had cancer, so I've spend a pretty long time on the hospital. But that's not realy the point. I've seen science do the most amazing things for people. Science saves lives every day. Maybe God has something to do with it too, maybe he dosen't. But putting ones life in the hands of scientists isn't all that bad of an idea.

Ooh yeah, but that doesn't mean they're always gonna be right,



Oohhhh you've had cancer? And you got it cured or something?!

Ooh yeah, but that doesn't mean they're always gonna be right,

When did I say they're always right? I've only said that putting faith in science isn't such a bad idea, as they certainly proof every day that they're worthy of being put faith in.


Oohhhh you've had cancer? And you got it cured or something?!

Yeah. They were pretty sure I was gonna die though, but I pulled trough :) Partly thanks to science.

I know you didn't say that.


Awesome :) so how did you feel?

I feel normal :) It's quiet nice and so not appreciated enough by people in general.

Oh my Emma. You never told me that! Wow. I'm so.. sorry..

Whatever makes it, I know I beleive we have a soul. It's in my relegion. The body is just a ... like a host for the soul, which without it would be dead and lifeless

Oh my Emma. You never told me that! Wow. I'm so.. sorry..

It never came up. And you don't have to be :) I didn't die, so it's all good.

yeah, you're lucky in that. I'm glad you recovered. :D

Yup, I am too :) Thank God for science!

I don't know. Do we?

Science is so hard

Of course, i'm sure there's a description for a soul in the Quran but I can't recall anything. Whatever it is, obviously I'll beleive that. If I come across it, I'll mention it.

Yes, Emma. lol. Thanks GOD for science

Hahah lol! People who don't believe in him shouldn't thank him. Lol! Wait Im not sure who's athiest around here...

Yeah lol chemistry is interesting... But there's too much of it! And then there's physics all the energy stuff I got really bad grades in lol but I think biology is OK

People who don't believe in him shouldn't thank him.

People who don't believe in him can do whatever the heck they want to. However, it does so happen that I do believe in God, so I am perfectly capable of thanking him for anything I want to thank him for.

Thanks GOD for science

I know. That's why I used that phrase. It's funnt and pretty much sums up what I believe.

Lol sorry

Yeah, Em. It is kind of.. funny. Like.. I donno, it sounds funny. lol

Exactly. Thank GOD for SCIENCE. Two things that are usually seperate in many ways :)

Oxymoron!

Nah... in the olden times, islam and science went side by side. It still does.. kind of. But people come up with the most outrageous (for my faith) theories that we have had to split apart.

Yeah like the pork thing...

Because, does science say there is a God? No, it's in faith.

I think a soul has nothing to do with your anatomy...

Here are some definitions of faith for ya':

# religion: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his morality"
# complete confidence in a person or plan etc; "he cherished the faith of a good woman"; "the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust"
# religion: an institution to express belief in a divine power; "he was raised in the Baptist religion"; "a member of his own faith contradicted him"
# loyalty or allegiance to a cause or a person; "keep the faith"; "they broke faith with their investors"

So you can rest your faith in another person.

True...but I meant relegious faith....

It started as this, I disagreed, I believe a soul is so much more than that.

That's what I believe. So there you have it.

"but don't rest your faith in the hands of scientists... "

Resting ones faith in the hands of someon sounds very much like having faith in that person, which is a perfectly normal and non-religious thing to do. But religious faith? No, I would never rest that kind of faith in scientists, since no such thing is needed. We know scientists exists, so I don't need to have the same kind of faith in them as one would have in God.

You're right, I have no proof. I'm not good at debating and I know that...

This isn't a discussion, this is a debate. I'm stating what I believe without fact and this is no place for that.

i think this question depends on what you consider a soul to be.

I'd like to believe we have a soul because on The Day of Judgement don't you get accounted for based on sins and good deeds? That would mean that you have a soul of some kind to see what kind of person you are I guess. And I agree it kind depends on what you consider a soul to be. I've never thought about. Sorry,I'm just pondering the question. :)

do you think animals have souls? i'm not completely sure what i think about this...

sure they do. Every living thing has a sole... well, except plants... I donno about plants, actually. Not sure about that

even worms? what do you think a soul IS anyway??

Yep, even worms. Because worm die too. And I donno much about a soul... the idea I have isnt describ-able

so if you die you have a soul??

nope, your soul leaves... that's dying

i think death is just when your body breaks down, and it's impossible to keep your heart pumping or lungs breathing. then, if you HAVE a soul, it leaves.

For me, and other muslims, you die when your soul is taken out by the angel of death

but then why does that happen only when the body suffers damage? do you believe that is just a coincidence?

People die just like that too, actually...

I agree with,Amina. Every living thing has a soul. I don't know about plants but if they well that would be awesome.

Ugh. Plants having souls would suck. Imagine if plants had feelings and feel pain like animals and humans do. We'd have a bunch of Vegetablearians - people who didn't want to eat veggies. Or meat. Ergo, they would starve themselves. Great.
