Through the teachings of socrates and many others we have defined and reasoned with the meaning of soul. A human soul has strong ties to religion and faith. I believe that a soul is the focal point of our existance as human beings and is what seperates us from animals. Nevertheless, to say animals have a soul is a direct contradiction of the meaning behind it. I feel that either us as human beings either have soul or the soul fails to exist. Even the word "Soul" may indicate this, due to the possibility it is derived from "sole" which means "Being the only one". What do you think, can animals have soul?

A couple nights ago I woke up and realized I had my eyes open. I didn’t know how long I had been staring at nothing but it felt like a really long time. I’m not sure if I was awake or not because I don’t remember thinking about anything or moving, but suddenly I had this thought, "why am lying here with my eyes open?" Is it possible that I was asleep with them open and woke up only to realize it? It happened the night before as well.

Suppose you knew a friend did something bad and somebody else was going to get in trouble for it and your friend told you to promise him not to say anything but your conscious is getting to you also along with your morals but at the same time your loyalty is there too. My question is what would you guys consider the "value of a promise" to mean? Best answer for a good explanation.
1012.13.09 Is it true that the deepest and innermost fear of the atheist is that God really exists?

I just saw a question that clarified what I’ve always known: that the only obstacle preventing many people from seeing the obvious truth of God’s existence is the fact that deep down in their hearts they don’t want God to exist. But doesn’t it remain their deepest and innermost fear?

412.13.09 What is good reading material related to Collective Action, Social Movement and/or Social Change?
admin to Social Science — Tags: Collective Action, media source, novels, Reading Material, social movement, tv show
Does anybody know any good material related to any of these topics: Collective Action, Social Movement, and/or Social Change. It doesn’t have to be "real", it could be fiction just as well. Novels are preferred, but articles work just fine. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be reading, I could use a movie, a tv show (episode from), or some kind of media source.
Thanks!
