Just wondering if we do have a sole? And what happens to it after you die? Well if you're religious then you dort of know of sorts. Me i think the sole it left over energy from when you were a live . An as energy can not be destroyed onley go from one state to another. Do sum part of us goes on to sum were there a big cloud in sum other space and time . Is this just one stage in ower life what we learned here shape what happens in the cloud? Dam need sleep getting all weird here LOL :)

You have a soul. And when you die it's going to leave your physical form ...you existed before... maybe you can remember, probably you can't. Just like you can't remember your time in the womb. It happened though. And so will there be something after this ....

Well, I couldn't tell you. Neither could anyone else, btw. That is part of the terror/mystery of death: you won't know for sure until it's too late to change your mind.

I can't 100% assure you there is one but I believe we do have an soul and there is some Astral existence it goes to after death.

I hate the idea of having a soul. But I don't really contest it either. I'd rather just have everything go black after I ctb. Troublesome dealing with an afterlife when you already decided to escape life itself.

All ways had this nagging feeling that life just doesn't end when your body dies . Odd i know but i will find out one day when I pop off . Until then just have to keep wondering:)

Everyone has soles - two of them. And almost everyone has a soul, except for gingers.

If I had a soul I would have to believe in some sort of God unfortunately

I'm an anti-theist so I don't believe we have a soul. Saying that, it's impossible to prove one way or the other.

Hmmm... No fish jokes yet?

I'm agnostic and I cannot imagine any proof exists to assume we have a soul. Specifically people who say, "we have a soul or how you have a soul" are talking out of their ass.

Science exhibits a deterministic world, where you don't have free will and are just the outcome of your starting point with the external forces inflicted upon you. Nothing you do is your own and you're just conditioned to think you're a free agent. You're unique compared to everyone else but nothing about you is your own doing. So it becomes what is your definition of soul? Is it to exist again after death, with your memories of this life or..? The possibility of nothingness is equivalent to existing after death. We cannot prove either assertions one could make.

Soles? Oh yes, two of them, but I imagine you meant "soul".
I think a soul is a very complex idea which would require one hell of a definition. For an example, you can imagine and communicate abstract ideas such as music and paint. Hypothetically, of course, as I don't know whether you dabble in these things. On the other hand, a monkey can't actually paint. The closest we have to a painting chimp or a gorilla are trained ones that produce some pieces on cue. One or several pieces they were trained to produce. One can argue that humans have a soul because of our artistic abilities.
Even if you can't paint a Bob Ross style forest, you can, hypothetically, shit on a canvas, call the piece "life", and sell it to some moron for millions of dollars. What's more, they'd be happy to cough up the dough! You will then be called the greatest painter on Earth and be praised for your artistic, soul crushingly blunt capabilities and die a hero's death, be buried with full military honors, and be praised for millenias to come! All because you took an impressively horizontal shit on a canvas.

For others, a soul is a little white like that keeps them going. After death, once their consciousness is gone, their soul will ascend to a higher, unfathomable plane of existence and be thrown into heaven where they will be in a state of bliss for all of eternity while their rivals burn in hell.
After all, we're all the protagonist of our own story.
Okay, that's one heck of a white lie.

I've read of a man performing an experiment: he weighted the freshly dead and concluded that, once enough time has passed and the soul leaves the body, before post mortem hits, the body loses roughly 4 grams of something. That something must be the soul.

To each, a soul is their own thing. I'd like to believe humans, along with every other living creature, plants included, do have souls. As for the question of what a soul actually is, I'm afraid I can't answer that. Each person views a soul on their own terms. Personally, I don't even understand mine.
