Maybe I’ll look extra dumb here, but what is a theist but somebody who believes in one or more gods?
My point exactly. But maybe I’m misinterpreting something.
The OP asks how theists reconcile the concept of an immortal soul. My point is that there’s not necessarily anything to reconcile. A theist doesn’t have to believe in an immortal soul.
Oh ok. I thought the OP meant “If someone is a theist and they also believe in an immortal soul, how do they reconcile… (etc.)”
I’m pretty sure that he’s asking those that do, though. And no gods need be included in the question.
I think a large part of the question is whether souls have awareness on some level.
