I don't really from the standpoint of an empiricist but I like the concept from a figurative standpoint and from the standpoint of a pragmatist.
I see it infusing more meaning into something, like seeing a Rembrandt painting as more than mere oil pigment on canvas but a work of art and, even though I'm atheist, inspired by God.
It helps to see things as more than just the sum of their physical properties to infuse maximum value into them. I see it all in the realm of poetry and metaphor. It has the same psychological effect to me for the most part as the theistic notion absent the belief in an afterlife. It helps me to see human beings as more than the sum of their physical properties.

I know the difference between a living person and a dead body is the spark of life. Is that spark our Soul? I don't know. When we die that energy running through our body is released. Where that energy goes or what happens to it later, I have no idea. I like to think our energy is sent back to the universe and is utilized again in some way.

Soul is the core program, the bios. When we reincarnate the soul gives us the impulse to become a conscious being. We don't remember most of our former existences, many souls are practically fresh souls without any existence before, but after death a small modification remains. That's why our souls develop with every existence and old souls have much better intuition then fresh ones.
I wouldn't say believe in one. There is a rather strange phenomenon that happens when someone dies that presently science can't explain. Though it would be similar to "the soul leaving the body"
Yes. The Soul is the direct connection to G0d.
Logically no, but after doing mushrooms as many times as I have, I feel like the existence of a soul is possible. If it exists I don't assume it has a purpose.
i have faith that soul is real. its purpose is being "the you" or "the me" that moves the body.
can't determine whether i believe in a thing or not before i understand what exactly a soul is supposed to be. for all i know it goes back in etymology to just mean "air" or "breath".
It's to ensure canibalism isn't wrong.
If you've ever seen "Soul Train", then you'd know the answer to this question.
yes, not sure.
probably to grow in energy
Yes. It's the cause of romantic love, artistic endeavors, and most importantly - spirituality.
The soul is the all our positiv energy. After the body dies the soul is still there.
Your soul decides whether or not if this will be your last breath.
I surely believe in it and it's purpose is our essence and our way for eternal life!

The Soul cries out to God who made Souls
