The Soul

The idea of a soul is a strange one. A 'soul' is the basis of all religion really. A soul, in some form or another, is mentioned in every religion I can think of. It means that 'you' don't die, that you live on forever in heaven or Nirvana or Valhalla or whatever you happen to believe in. Personally, I couldn't think of a worse way to think of your life. This life is precious, it is meaningful and people should not be lead to believe (against all evidence) that you will live on after you die. Certainly not for eternity! Can you imagine that! Hell no, when I die, I wanna stay dead.
What is the purpose of us being here on Earth? Whatever purpose we want to give. We all came about on this planet through the non-random effects of random occuring events. I say, life is what you make of it. You don't need any kind of faith or belief system to live a full, rich and moral life, and anyone who tells you otherwise, doesn't know what their talking about.
