Okay, Bill, you doubt there is a soul. That's fine. But why do you doubt it? Why would you have any opinion on the matter at all?????

I bet there are lots of people in the history of the world who didn't bother doubting OR believing in the soul. They had their minds on other stuff instead.

Why are you drawn...like a fly to a fresh...um..you know...whenever a discussion comes up about the soul, sasquatches, UFOs, OBE's, telepathy, and other unusual stuff like that? You have a more than normal interest in such matters...from the negative viewpoint. You are immediately drawn in, keen with the desire to make it plain that you DON'T believe in such things...or you DOUBT them pretty strenuously.

Why? Another 500 people might give it a momentary glance, think, oh...hmmm...well, that doesn't interest me a lot...and they'd move on.

No, Bill, you are attracted with a certain zeal to such subjects, as is Clinton, and a few other individuals here, and the zeal is a negative zeal. It is a desire to debunk and in many cases to ridicule certain things that push your buttons for some reason....and they are things you are not really in a position to debunk, because you honestly don't know whether or not there is a soul, whether or not there are alien vessels visiting the Earth, whether or not Bigfoot exists. You don't have a friggin' clue! You just have a kneejerk reaction, and you can't wait to express it and make it heard.

That's what's irritating about it. You guys are as dependable as mosquitos or chiggers. You can always be depended on to show up at the picnic and start biting when certain subjects like this come up.
