About the human soul...

I think that a lot of people are confused about the soul, some people doubt it's existence, others know that it's there but know very little about it.  I hope that in this article I can explain if but a few things about the soul and how it theoretically works.  The soul is a spiritual existence, meaning that it does not take physical form and  I believe that the soul is joined to the body through the mind, thoughts are biological but they are also spiritual.

But the relationship between the body and soul is a complex one, they are in a way, interdependent on each other, meaning that what one does, can influence the other.  Indeed this is what Christians believe, that sin can corrupt the soul and once the body dies, the soul will go to hell.  But how exactly can sin (in physical form) corrupt the soul (in spiritual form), well the answer simply lies in the mind.  The mind is the link between soul and body and as such, can transmit certain things between the two.  Indeed we already discussed the Christian side already, but have you ever heard a person say 'they lost a piece of their soul' when referring to a person either involved in a traumatic event or being a victim of an event.  Is this just an expression, or a mere non-believer way of understanding what happens??
