If there is "no such" thing as "ghosts", then where do our....?

Question

souls go when we die? Souls are eternally young, they do not die with the body.

Answer 1

There is no evidence of any such thing as a soul.  So there is no need to ask where it goes.  Where does a fire go when it goes out?  death is simply the cessation of bio-chemical processes which constitute life.

Sorry, nuff said, but this scientific atheist skeptic does not consider the truth to be so equivocal.

Answer 2

yes we do have souls and i know we do go somewhere, but where i can not say either can anyone else, the only way to find out is when we die...i know theres an after life, but im guessing theres alot of different plains of existence for all of our souls...just going by peoples different experiences with NDE,s and death bed visions and so on.....

Answer 3

Depends on what you believe. Some people think you just die, and that's it. Others think different and go to ah appier place.

My opinion is heaven. It gives me something to look forward to.

Answer 4

Your "soul" is simply your brain.  When you die you die.  Sad, but true.

Answer 5

I don't believe in h**l, that is something made up to scare the child mind in all of us. I think living is the closest thing to h**l. The separation from the great spiritual whole, god, the creator or  what ever you want call it, is what living is.  When we die we go back to the whole being.  If you don't get it right then you keep coming back until you do get it right. Ghosts are souls that got of the normal track for what ever reason.  When you die and you have gotten it right, then you go to the place where all pure souls go, the whole, god, bliss.  You no longer fear, no longer feel pain, no hunger, just the joy of the one.

When you strip down religions of all the flash and glitter that is what you end up with.  We are all the same, you just call it a different name.

Answer 6

"well", sometimes "our souls" go into "limbo"

Answer 7

in heaven...

Answer 8

All I know is I don't know.

EDIT...I see I got 2 thumbs down for "not knowing".lol

So I'll say "something"..How can souls stay eternally young...but people say people have "old souls"? And Sylvia says we'll all be "thirty"...yet spirits of all ages appear to us.Maybe our souls wander the earth. If so..why do so few ghosts appear? (Sorry..I have more questions than answers)

Answer 9

I actually wrote an essay on the particular topic of the existence of ghosts. My theory in the essay is that even thought you can't see ghosts or this case other human souls, doesn't mean that they don't exist. It has been proven that gravity exists but you can't see gravity and if you can't see gravity but it still exists, why can't ghosts exist?

Answer 10

Your argument relies on an unverified premise--that souls exist.  You say, "Souls are eternally young, they do not die with the body."  What are you basing this assumption on?

The "rather be safe than sorry" position (aka Pascal's Wager) is silly.  Nobody believes in god and goes through the motions "just in case".  Here is what I think if Pascal's Wager:

Answer 11

Well, ghostseeker, i believe in ghosts and i think that ur soul is our ghosts so don't believe most skeptics.

Answer 12

Your soul gives life to babies

Answer 13

I believe in "ghosts" as a spiritual phenomena, however they're not souls of the dead. the bodiless souls have their own place, this world is meant only to habitate the living.

you're clearly not a classical thinker...

Answer 14

I believe as a Christian my soul will go to Heaven as I have committed my life to Jesus Christ.  There I will walk on the streets of gold.  I will live in a Mansion built for me.  All because Jesus died for my sins.  If you do not believe and commit to Christ, well, the outcome is not quite as grand.   Like the bumper sticker I saw the other day said;

"Try Christ, if you don't like him the devil will always take you back."

Answer 15

we live on I guess. But maybe spirtually, and not as a white ghoulish figure.

Answer 16

I can't name the place but I call it heaven--a place of rest from all the madness that takes place on earth.

I just tell myself that when I am done w/ this body I'll return to the place where the one universal spirit lives.☺☀

Answer 17

Well I can answer that as simply as it is, we go to heaven or h**l, and honestly if you don't believe in heaven or h**l, then I guess you will see when you die. I have always told people, why would you doubt it? Wouldn't yourather be safe than sorry? I know that there is a God, a heaven and a h**l, so i know where my soul will end up.

God Bless and Good Luck...

Answer 18

maybe they still exist. maybe they float around incapable of being heard or seen.

but i believe our souls go to Heaven, our bodies left for others to remember us by on earth.

who knows?

Answer 19

Why waste your time worrying about such things when there are more important things in life to worry about. Things like friends, family, and life it self. I say while you are still alive live life to the fullest. Like they say you only have one life, enjoy it while you can.

Answer 20

you just opened a can of worms from the scientific athiests, and skeptics, shhhhhhhhhh hear them? they are coming to take you away little girl. LOL dont let them push you around. Lets put it this way, we all will find out when we die. for me its a win win situation, I believe there is a God and have been saved, so if I die and there is nothing, well I still lived a good life, but if I die and there is a supreme being, well then I get to stick around. If I was athiest, its 100% whats gonna happen upon death. you just die.

I would guess that depends on you idea of truth.

Answer 21

idk i guess we will see when we die right?

Answer 22

I guess some people believe in the nonexistence of souls

Personally, I'm stumped. I've heard so many theories--we're just a mass of energy, we wonder on as if life never ended, etc.
