Ok, so my title is slightly sensationalist. But i have a valid question. I am an identical twin. Etra, at sometime in the womb, but after conception, the fertilised egg which was both me and my brother split into two seperate babies. If the soul is given at conception, it follows that my brother and I each have half a soul.

Yet, i can assure you am i just as human, and as spirtiual as everyone else. I don't think i have half a soul. Can someone explain what appears to me to be a fundamental flaw in the "soul-at-conception" arguement?

The questionable existence of souls would be the largest flaw in my opinion...the mind is dictated by the physical brain, not some ethereal entity called a soul.

How much for your half soul then, eh?

I'll give you a dollar!

Dude dont worry God would be aobve stupid rules like that you have a whole soul. he doesn't need to abide my anything

It does kinda screw anti-abortion theories.

what is a soul exactly?

That's something that deserves a thread of its own. I'll start one when I can be assed.
