Do humans have a soul?

I assert a resounding 'NO'. My default is not belief in that which is not known.

Reasons for votes please. It's in this board for a reason. :P

I don't have a soul. I am a soul. I have a body. The soul is the will that causes the brain to act. It resides within the brain and operates it, like the driver in a vehicle.

A dualism fan? You consider the mind and brain to be different, discrete entities? Is this 'will' related to religion?

She has strong intuition. It's an intellect beyond the brain actually. Most NFs believe in something bigger than themselves.

Intellect beyond the brain is a contradiction. 'Intuition' for an object is no indicator for its veridicality.

The brain is just a meaty organ. We can gather insight from a source beyond ourselves.

Hm, my standard answer would be: No i don't believe in a soul (a 'part' which does not comes out of the biological body), but really i would take the agnostic stance here...(Since it would give me the possibility to assert free will to a soul and thusly circumvent hard determinism, but please, don't take this as argument...)

Do INTPs believe in God? I thought I read differently the other night?

Most do not, but a few of them do believe in God.
