The Bible says there are souls.

So?

Time Cube says there are four days in one, and since you are a literalist...it must be true right?

And yes, humans are animals according to the scientific definition of animals being multicelluar, eukaryotic organisms who are heterotrophic (requires organic food) and lack cell walls.

Woah, buddhism and atheism just connected in harmony: SCIENCE!!!!!


Well technically Buddhism teaches that humans are separate and spiritually above animals :p , -BUT- seeing as science considers humans to be animals, we make of that what we will.

So what of Christians who say that humans are animals and all animals possess a soul?

Humans are animals. Animals do not have souls.

A soul is just the theological version of life, meaning a way to describe the ability to be alive. Animals are alive, so yes they do have souls.

Given its a spiritual concept it would kind of be hard to detect in the first place :P.

If it is metaphorical, is it still a helpful term? How do we find out whether if only humans have souls, or if everything has a soul, or somewhere in between?

Of course we are animals, we are mammals. No one has a soul on the other hand.

Humans are animals.

And it doesn't matter if they have souls.

I mean it's kind of impressive he says that given Islam and Judaism are sister religions with Christianity.

We just are a big, disfunctional family.

I swear its kind of hard to given Pat Robertson credit where its due, but the man does make valid points when it comes to beating Ken Ham.

It's funny that he says it period. Christianity has so much scripture half of it contradicts itself, thus why there are so many schisms. What he meant to say was my specific deviation of Christianity is the truth, and everything else is false.

Hell, folks like A&B don't even accept that, really. A Biblical Literalist's reading of The Bible is practically heresy.

Christianity is the one true faith, because the bible says so.
The bible is true, Christianity tells me so.
