In buddhist philosophy, there is no permanent, unchangable soul, and the nature of all existence is that everything is impermanent. just a little tid-bit I thought I'd throw in.


Personally, I think the concept of "soul" was a primitive idea designed to explain consciousness. From what I've observed, all religions involving god(s) use such concepts and many more to give a simplistic explanation to the complex mysteries of existence. After all, what's more appealing than having all the answers to all the questions, all the solutions to all your worries, neatly wrapped up in a simple package?
