You're saying that as if it was a bad thing.

Some questions needs to be cleared up before setting some principles :
- Is there such a thing called "soul", all faiths says yes but let's make sure, and what it's purpose or value?.
|
i think this goes under 2) - don't be responsible for other people. you want a soul, you can have one, but don't try to impose (or remove) one on me.
|
Now, that's an interesting concept.
- Bad option :
Go to our church or we'll force a soul upon you.
- Nice option :
Go to our church and you'll have a soul and be .. whatever float your boat.
Souls trading cards should be next.

other people not beating you up for being an annyoying dick?

see, now you are trying to found a mythology. it's true that many religions have them, but they may not be absolutely necessary.
|
Faiths, of all kinds, have to offer a key to understand what cannot be reasoned or put into concept or risk being cornered into cults (cf. scientology). You do not have to explain everything, but you have to make clear where your faith stand when facing the unknwon (see Spinoza's ethics on the matter for example).
