   Does it matter?   
      
   The soul only matters to those who find it important for the "self   
   referencial bubble", the "I" or "me" to continue on for all eternety   
   in the "summerland" of their choosing [Heaven, Nirvana, Garden of   
   Paradise, Happy Hunting Ground... etc.].   
      
   It is not going to matter. It is never going to matter. Metaphysical   
   illusions are like that... built with good intensions but they tend to   
   outlive their usefulness. Heaven is for those too lazy to create one   
   now... :-)
