Is the soul a synaptic product of our neurons firing off in our brains? Is it an unconcious sustenence that our spiritual nature is composed of? Could it be a small facet of a larger, universal entity--and would that make it inherently divine or merely a part of a whole? Does the soul exist at all? If it does, does it influence our actions or just carry the weight of them into some afterlife to decide the ultimate fate that our acts determined? If there is no such thing as a soul, can there be an afterlife at all; if our physical bodies are decayed and there is nothing to carry on, can anything?

Eager for viewpoints.

Imagine you are locked in a room--NOTHING can get in or out of this room that you are in.

Then, bear with me on this oddity, you decide to take a bath. You let the water run into the tub (I guess it's a bathroom--this is not a question I made up) and then you go to turn the water off. Only the handle breaks off in your hand and the water keeps flowing.

In this scenario, how are you going to keep from drowning in this locked room??

**My friend was asked this question as extra credit for a U.S. History test, and got it wrong. He asked it of me, and I came up with a similar answer, which his teacher had called "retardedly analytical." I just want to see what answers are given on here.
