It is known that souls do not exist. The same as it is known that the gods of Christianity and Islam do not exist and that there is no such thing as magic. Or fairies.

It doesn't matter which orifice I talk out of. It's the content which matters.

Why do we have to respect the beliefs of others? We can only respect the respectable. What's resectable to one person may not be to another.

When talking about absolute truths such as souls/ fairies/ purple unicorns/ Allah/ etc, opinions are neither here nor there. Opinions have value when there are grounds to dispute the answer or when talking about one's favourite colour or type of music.

I think you're right about me sounding smug. We've already covered the closed-minded thing though, and we discovered it was the other way around. And I don't know it all. You got one out of three.
