What is right, how do you define it? There is no right or wrong, no good or evil. there is only the ethical representation of benifical vs. harmful. The more benifical something is to man as a whole, the better it is to do so. I do not feel the need to be "right" because I know I never will be 100% right. I also know i will never get rid of the human desire to be "right", so I combat it each day.
Perhaps you have no soul, Halx, because you believe you have no soul. There are people who have so convinced themselves that souls do not exist that they lose theirs. In that case, you will be nothing more than worm food upon death.
However, the true human being is the soul, what's inside, not this mass of flesh and bones. Our whole physical self is nothing more than a vessel, a jar. It is the part of us that is aware of our existance in the first place that carries on.
And Livia Regina, I do believe that all thing people believe in are equally true. Odin exists every bit as much as my God does. As do all things seen and unseen. It's one of the few things I remember from church that I still agree with. I believe in my God, how could I not believe that the other things exist to, or at least have a chance of existing. (before you ask, that does mean that, though I have no physical proof, I believe that all mythical creatures exist/could existin some form. I will continue to do so until it is proven otherwise.)
