And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don't believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don't se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called "soul" would be any more then something our brain is making up.

There is at least as much evidence for dragons and magic and Greek gods as there is for a soul, so no.

It boggles my mind that out of the two options, someone would choose to believe in none of these when you could just as easily believe in all of them.

Much as I would love to believe in dragons, belief is not usually a choice.

I mean dragons did exist. We just call them dinosaurs.
