To me that the soul does not exist is obvious. At least, without any weazel
thoughts, it is obvious that there is no sign of a soul. I await *any
demonstration that there is a soul. If there were such a thing, then it
remains to be seen what it does. Perhaps it is like the appendix. But the
appendix demonstrably exists.
The difference between a person alive and that same person's dead body is
that the body *was working and now isn't.
If you want to call that ended process a soul, ok. I'd rather call it
living. But if you do call it a soul; and if we acknowledge that it ends,
then the question of its mortality / immortality would seem to be "obvious"
