What is heaven or hell existing for if our dead loved ones, dead friends, dead relatives, and dead associates are all there still buried in the cemeteries? So they have souls and after death their souls were either saved for heaven; or, damned for hell.
Well, in the meantime, who knows what the soul is? As a matter of truth, but then again: everybody knows that the truth is sacred; yet nobody knows what the truth is. The same goes for free will. Everybody knows the will is free;
yet nobody knows exactly what the will is. We think ourselves free because we are conscious of our wishes and desires, but we are ignorant of the root causes by which we are led to wish or to desire.
Now comes the soul. Everybody knows that the soul is immortal; yet nobody has the faintest idea of what the soul is. All that is known is that the soul must be saved. But if the soul were already immortal, it means that it is imperishable, deathless, and endless. Yet, we are constantly inspired to "save" our souls. But if the soul were already immortal, "save" from what? For what? After death, or even in life, what does it matter? Who needs it? But why even bother to save a silly soul?
After death, what good is a soul without a body to house it or to contain it? If the soul can exist apart from the body, then what need is there to save it? Even if, or after, you do obey your priest's or minister's idiotic advice ( these guys are self-appointed expert in that field ) to repent all your sins, beg God to forgive you, etc., how can you really know that your soul has been "saved?" If Adam was the first "mortal" on this earth, and as the Christians claim, gifted with the first immortal soul, then whence came all the following billions of souls since Adam? From God? How, exactly? How do you know? God created everything? Well, if this were so, God must have created time and space too. Now where was God located before he created space, and when was it before God created time?
As a matter of fact, what do we really know – not just think or imagine, but actually know anything about the nature of the soul? Not a dammed thing! Just for example: what is its length, height, and width? Color? Is it round, square, or triangular? Origin? Abode? Mode of locomotion? Has a soul been smelled, tasted, touched, measured, weighted, photographed, detected, or determined with any microscope, or telescope, or by other instrument of any kind? The truthful answer to these simple questions is: "We don't know!"
Then how in hell does anybody know that it even exists at all? And if the soul is non-materialistic, how can it "burn forever in hell" or "saved" – or even burn for just one single second – for that matter – it it's not made of combustible matter? If God wants the soul saved, why doesn't he just save it? He would know how if anybody does since "God knows everything." You or I have no power to perform such miracles?
Well, suppose it turned out to be true. That souls do exist. That a billion souls pass on to the next world every 25 years or so. However, in the thousands of years that man has existed in this world, God must already be fed up with dead saved souls here, souls there, and saved souls everywhere in heaven. The devil too must already be fed up with dead damned souls here, souls there, and damned souls everywhere in hell. Ah, what about the billions of souls too in purgatory on the way to heaven. Let's not forget the billions of souls too in Limbo on the way to nowhere as neither God nor the devil couldn't care less for sinless, nay, worthless silly souls of men? - - - Poch Suzara
