(serious answers only) Do amputees have souls?

Sure!\n\nIn Matthew, 18:8, Jesus says,\n\n"If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire."

Because soul is created by God and it is not possible to be made or modified or transfer by human being ourselves. Also, a dead body is decomposing, there is no reason or any 'why' from God that an artificial soul could be added to a corpse. If you insists, you are a enemy of God. God makes a way, but do not break to the sideways.

If heaven does exist, then pretty much anything of any substance here on earth would have a soul, as we are all comprised of atoms, which themselves are active, and alive. Only, if there is a heaven, the roaches are gigantic, smoke a ton of reefer, and play some really mellow jazz.

Soul does exist. But life and soul are not the same. The soul is somewhat closer to the capacity for self-consciousness. The property of being conscious and that too of the self is only found with the humans. Most of us are not even conscious of that. Hence, animals have life but the soul.

What exactly do you think a soul is?  What properties does it have?  What part of 'you' resides in the soul? \n\nIf it's postulated that consciousness, or awareness, or sense of self resides in the soul, it's difficult to see how this can be reconciled with the complete oblivion which accompanies general anaesthesia.  How could a straightforward chemical,  injected into the bloodstream, anaesthetise a soul so that it effectively ceases to exist during this time?  If consciousness, in the form of a soul, were some kind of supernatural faculty, it would seem implausible that it could be completely disabled by a chemical. \n\nHow about some of the other things which we regard as essential parts of what makes a person what they are?  How about love, compassion, reason, empathy, memory, conscious thought, character, 'spirituality' and so on? Well, there is really no plausible doubt that all these things are properties of the physical brain.  We can alter all of these properties very simply with alcohol or other drugs, and observe how they change in people who have suffered significant brain damage - Previously placid people become uncontrollably violent, intelligent people become imbeciles, and so on.  Stimulate the brain artificially, and the subject reports corresponding mental activity, e.g. 'religious experiences'.  We can see from brain research that all these things - thought, emotion, sensation, character traits and so on - are correlated with activity in the brain, and some things can be identified with specific areas of the brain. \n\nSo, if all these faculties and characteristics of what we regard as the 'person' reside in the physical brain, as seems to be undeniably the case, and they all cease when the person dies, then what is left to be attributed to a 'soul'?  As far as I can ascertain:  Nothing. If there is no part of us that can continue after death, then there is no 'afterlife'... and if there is no afterlife, then most of religion is null and void.

As far as anyone can tell, there is no such thing as a soul.  When you die, you cease to exist.  End of story.\n\nADDENDUM:  To anyone who answers this question from the perspective that souls exist, you ought to justify your assertions with verifiable evidence or valid argument, not just make unsupported claims, otherwise your response is essentially worthless.  Oh, and quoting from the Bible or the Qur'an constitutes neither evidence nor argument...  :-)\n\nIt is a fundamental principle of rational thought that if you claim something exists, and you want people to believe you, then the onus is on you to provide argument or evidence to support your claim, not on other people to refute it.  The default position is non-belief, in other words.

They have done it with hands, but there are psychological factors that make it difficult for most people.  Patients have a hard time accepting that they have a dead person's body parts on them. Internal organs are a little different.  Looking at a different leg or hand all the time is difficult for the minds of most.  Also, the timing has to be perfect.  You cant just do that with someone who lost their leg 2 months ago.

I used to work at a convalescence home, and part of my job was to clean up the people after they passed. They would continue to rid their bladder and bowels (if you know what I mean) for a while, then rigamortis(don't know how to spell it) sets in (when their body stiffens). I had to tie their mouths shut and cross their arms for the morgue. You could tell instantly that their spirit and soul left them. Defiantly an erie experience. I also believe that their spirit goes to an in-between place until God takes us all to heaven(or hell). So I think they look down on their loved ones like guardian angels.

if you mean 'Angels', like heavenly people, then i believe so- i believe in some sense that there is some way the deceased souls can watch over us.\nof you do mean 'Angles' then i don't know what to tell you.

Black & white, male & female are all aspects of the human physical body.  They will pass and be replaced by our eternal spiritual body.  No sterotypical soul exists because the soul is not dependent on the body.  It exists as an entity in itself.  Otherwise, when the body dies, you would have to believe that the soul goes with it.\n\nBaptist & Jewish, etc. are views or doctrines.  They are not the soul.  They make up part of the mind.  However, those views and doctrines do affect the mind and thus have an impact on the soul.\n\nBottom line, no...souls are not stereotypical.  And I can't wait to get to heaven and see the looks on the faces of those who thought there was really something called a "black church" or a "white church" or only a Catholic Church or Baptist Church (I'm referring to those who believe that only certain denominations of Christians will inherit Heaven).  I think that we all are going to be shocked at what exists and how it all exists in eternity.  And I can't wait to be a part of it all.  When we get there, I believe that we WILL be stereotypical.  We will all be the Saints of God!

There is no scientific evidence for souls.  Thus, they may very well not exist at all, like unicorns, fairies, and friendly Parisians.  Science does not address everything, and is not meant to answer all important questions.  Science only is effective in questions in which a clear hypothesis can be made, and repeatable evidence collected and measured to support or refute that hypothesis.  Questions such as the existence of God, what love is, what is beautiful, are not things that can be quantitated and measured, and thus science is not the proper venue to find the answer.

Souls have not been scientifically proven to exist. Therefore, no one knows, since souls are theoretical only.

Yes, soul is there. But you are never guided by someone. Its your mind which guides you. This is where difference comes between humans and computers. Computers can think only if they are guided/programmed but humans brain is so intelligent that it need not to be guided. Its independent. Amazing creation of God......isn't it?\n\nIf you think you are guided by an angel/God, then why terrorists kill people. They should not because God is guiding them and He can't guide to kill.\n\nIf you think devil is guiding you, why u do good things.\n\nSo you are guiding yourself.\n\nYes, supernatural hes actually helped me in need. That is a long story. I will tell you someday........\n\nThanks

They have no cerebral cortex, what we commonly associate with a higher conscience. A higher conscience is what a human has, the big grey matter of the brain. & most scientists (a Philosophers) agree that this is where the seat of a person is. The "I" as it where. The voice in your head that says "oh, I'm alive", so; \nNo, probably not. but it depends if the cerebral cortex is where the "I" of a thing is.
