Are you saying that we literally don’t exist, or are you saying that every single different opinion in the community, whether it’s spiritual or psychological, is false? …Source?
Calm down Peridot
@who-is-page I’m saying that it’s a made up thing ya’ll believe to identify. It’s mad weird and cringey. Makes me worry about the fate of millennials. Like some of ya’ll gonna be running countries someday. Get your shit together man.
People who believe in the ability that someday they can devolve themselves into simple creatures like fish or cats, or believe future science will be advanced enough to help them in their dreams to become dragons, an actual mythical creature with no traces of biological evidence left anywhere on this earth, really need to finish reading beyond 6th grade biology and get a taste of the real world. Be proud to be a human as we are the only consciously self-aware creatures existing thus far. To want to be something like a lion, who’s only consciousness is to feed, mate, and kill, or a shark, who are just as primal yet even more lacking in intelligence, is insulting to the rest of us who have mentally grown the fuck up. The real world doesn’t conform to your fantasies, you animalistic five year old’s.
That is not what otherkin means at all though…? Like I believe that I have the soul of a fox but I’m happy I’m not one because if I were a fox I’d be fuckin’ dead by now. Being otherkin isn’t about wanting to be an animal. @who-is-page can probably provide a shit ton of legit otherkin definitions for you if they haven’t already.
Souls are a religious construct with the original concept being to strike far into cult followings, beginning with the Roman Catholic church. It’s still a false belief.
Souls…. started with the roman catholic church??? I….. souls…. started with the…roman catholic church?????? AHAHAHAHAHA.
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t laugh at ignorance. The idea of souls far predates the roman catholic church.
I’m open to being proven scientifically wrong, so please provide citation on when the idea of souls were originally conceived.

The ancient Egyptians believed that a humansoul was made up of five parts: the Ren, the Ba, the Ka, the Sheut, and the Ib. In addition to these components of the soul there was the human body (called the ha, occasionally a plural haw, meaning approximately sum of bodily parts).
Drawing on the words of his teacher Socrates, Plato considered the psyche to be the essence of a person, being that which decides how we behave. He considered this essence to be an incorporeal, eternal occupant of our being. Socrates says that even after death, the soul exists and is able to think
In Hinduism the atman (“breath,” or “soul”) is the universal, eternal self, of which each individual soul (jiva or jiva-atman) partakes. The jiva-atman is also eternal but is imprisoned in an earthly body at birth. At death the jiva-atman passes into a new existence determined by karma, or the cumulative consequences of actions. The cycle of death and rebirth (samsara) is eternal according to some Hindus, but others say it persists only until the soul has attained karmic perfection, thus merging with the Absolute (brahman)
“The Chinese distinguished between a lower, sensitive soul, which disappears with death, and a rational principle, the hun, which survives the grave and is the object of ancestor worship.”
