And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.

    You argue here that such a “something more” soul does not exist

    I did no such thing. I argue for a descriptivist, rather than prescriptivist, perspective on the subject. I argue that questions of the nature of the soul are separate from questions of the existence of the soul, the latter being fairly obvious. The “something more” aspect is a question of nature. I deliberately abstained from arguing any specific claims regarding the nature of the soul, that lies beyond the scope of the question.

    I engaged with the question as OP posed it. If they would like to refine the question to narrow the definition of “soul” then I will engage with that new question.
