Maybe in your beliefs. I don’t see a soul here, that’s a religious non-scientific concept that’s unprovable and not useful. So I don’t believe in it, and I’m not interested in it. What’s actually self evident is that mystic beliefs rely on circular logic, another reason I have nothing to do with them.

Kind of like the premise of the American claim to liberty and self-government, right?

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...”

As Christians we believe our souls are our minds, our wills, our emotions, created free, in the image and likeness of God.

What exactly do you think you are if you’re not a soul endowed with a mind, a will, and emotions?

Signed, Daniel Dennett.

The fact that Dennett espouses this view specifically makes me dismiss it out of hand.
