Hey, just sayin', many of you may enjoy the book "Sophie's World". I have not read all of it yet - but I like it so far, and sort of goes along with this discussion. :)

I believe there are a large group of people who are strangely attracted to cattle that think that a soul can be recycled. At least it makes the Green people happier, in that smug way they have...

It all depends what you think a soul is.

Not that it matters to non-Christians but in Ezekiel 18:4 God said, "Behold all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die".
I don't believe in a God that sends souls to a ever burning hell. one that lasts for eternity. That was the Devil's first lie. "Don't you know you will not surely die?"
Your soul WILL die, you will CEASSE to exist, you won't be some conscious suffering entity burning in hellfire for infinty. That's not just, That's not grace. That's being an as*hole. Damn the church for making people believe this lie.

Hmmm... That which is made can shift form though, from mass to energy, for example. As regards the soul, or that self awareness/conscientiousness that we call a soul, isn't the emerging consensus that all these "feelings" boil down to nothing more than physical processes in the brain? That they are in fact not the result of some ethereal, intangible essence, but no more mysterious than any other physical process like, say, digestion? Of course it will be some time before we can determine the exact nature and location of the brain region responsible for our sense of "self" and "soul," but should such a determination eventually be made, it would seem to follow, alas, that our soul would pass along with the death of the brain region responsible for its expression.

Addressing everyone and no one in particular, the soul isn't "born", it just is. It has no beginning and no end. It's a Divine spark of unlimited energy that does have a unique personality, and it integrates itself with the brain of the developing fetus, and becomes the animating force of the person it chooses. You *are* your soul. At the end of that person's life, the soul leaves to return to the afterlife realm, and waits for it's next "host". This cycle continues until the soul has learned all it can learn in human form, and then becomes an Ascended being and continues to live on in a realm of pure consciousness.

I guess that's pretty much an esoteric statement, but that's how I understand it.
