It probably shouldn't bother me this much.

But I really don't like some life form, a...a parasite it sounds like, calling itself a "soul," talking about people with and without souls.


...It can be hard enough to believe in human souls without some other species complicating the issue.

Good and evil, huh?


I really don't think they're that hard to define. Evil would be disregarding and hurting others, and good would be doing what's best for people, even at your own expense.

But people never just fit one definition or the other.


The problem is...it's a lot easier to do one evil act that cancels out a lot of good ones than the other way round. Good takes a lot more work.

So by a lot of standards, I guess I'm still evil.


Christianity usually says that if someone tries to be good, and is honestly sorry for what evil they've done, then that person is fine. But Islam says that a person has to do more good in their life than evil, otherwise they are evil.

I can't help but be afraid that Islam got it right.
