What is it with humans and the idea of a soul?

"It might also be an evolutionary strategy that takes us away from the anxieties of self-consciousness. Once fully modern humans knew they could die, it probably made sense to pretend that no one really died but that some part of us lived on into the cosmos.

Given the vagaries of ancient life, it probably also made sense to invent souls that had the power to haunt and cause harm to explain all the bad stuff in life".

In fact, every culture, even today, has some concept that separates the spirit from the body, confirming that like my dreamy friend,

humans seem compelled to think of themselves as something more than the sum of our biological parts, even if that belief makes us do foolish earthly things.

I know I got one baby; you too.

I wonder why people say animals don't have souls?

I think they do Aces.

Ever been to one of those animal cruelty sites, or a slaughterhouse?

If some people have souls, it is clear that some people do not.

Yeah, I have Aces. It's horrible. I think the Indians had the right idea about animals and how they harvested them.
