| Apr 23, 2019 at 20:45 | comment | added | Him | I'm not religious, so no offense taken. However, I live in "the bible belt" and like 90% of people around me are religious. Just thought I might share my observations of religion as westerners actually live it day to day. | |
| Apr 23, 2019 at 18:10 | comment | added | Him | You may find this wikipedia page informative on the subject of the Christian concept of a soul. | |
| Apr 23, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Zanna | Mind my language? Someone is just any person. I apologise for any offence. Certainly unintended. Christianity is a young religion - perhaps it got the idea of souls from India somehow. But it is an absolutely basic and essential idea in Christianity. | |
| Apr 23, 2019 at 17:32 | comment | added | Zanna | That's your choice. But I'm British and I went to two church affiliated schools (primary and secondary) and a Christian after school club as a teen. So you're denying my lifelong experience on the basis of what someone said about a religion they didn't believe in. | |

| Apr 22, 2019 at 19:46 | comment | added | Him | I concur that it is certainly not the case that Christians, at least, identify the body with the soul. In the west, Christians hold that the soul is one's "true being" and the body is merely a vessel. The difference with eastern religions arises as to what happens to the soul after death. Easterners frequently allow for the soul to continue here on Earth, often in another body (reincarnation). Christians hold that the soul goes elsewhere at death and never comes back to Earth. Judaism, interestingly, is famously ambiguous about what happens after death. | |
| Apr 22, 2019 at 14:20 | comment | added | Zanna | We don't say "left the ghost". Rather the "ghost" leaves the body. But we also say "soul" all the time. In fact Christians constantly talk about souls and many consider the idea of ghosts as superstition | |
| Apr 22, 2019 at 13:49 | comment | added | Zanna | I don't know why I see so many people here saying that Christians or other foreigners think that a person is their body or don't believe in souls. It is a commonplace in Euro-USian culture that the soul leaves the body at death. | |

| Apr 22, 2019 at 11:39 | comment | added | spkakkar | Okay sir. While this may be the apt word. I have a follow-up question: What do you hear people (Hindus) saying/wishing for the deceased person (preferably in rural areas) ? Please tell from your experiences. | |
| Apr 22, 2019 at 11:36 | comment | added | user17294 | SvadhA is the wishful word that pleases the departed soul via pleasing the pitris.You are welcome. | |
| Apr 22, 2019 at 11:35 | comment | added | spkakkar | Thanks for your time sir. Deha-tyAga is a fact. But rest-in-peace is a wish that people make for the deceased person. I was looking for substitute of that "wishful words". | |
