You're not understanding what I'm saying, Titus. Unless there is such a thing as the human soul, then emotion has no weight, no substance, no purpose. If the human soul is a fable, then emotion boils down to nothing more than unexplainable electrochemical responses. The fact is, in order for a human being to be more than plain matter, in order for our race to consist of more than just flesh, there needs to be a soul. The human soul can't exist unless it was placed there by a "creator."
There is a reason why it's okay for a wolf to kill a deer, or a shark to kill a seal. It's because they're animals. It's because of the fact that they have no soul that it's okay for them to kill and eat one another. What sets us apart from animals is our souls. If our sould don't actually exist, then we're nothing more than highly advanced animals. If we're just nothing more than really intelligent monkeys, then why shouldn't I be allowed to kill you and devour your body?
