I'm not a religious person, in fact I do not like religion, Hate church and seen enough of it to know that it is a business. Been to a religious school where a lot of the teachers turned out to be pedi's . Went to a religious hostel where I saw funny things go on..... Seen churches bash each others religion, Religion is man made, the bible is not the word of god, it is the word of disciples.... everyone knows how the ruler of the day changes writings to suite their ambitions.....
The above being said, I come from Celtic stock and have strong beliefs that there is something "bigger" after death...
When my daughter was born, we received the message that my grandmother in Scotland had passed away an hour before she was born.....
At 02h00 in the morning, when my mother passed away from cancer in the local hospital, my father was by her side, my brothers and I where waiting in the family lounge, without knowing that at the exact time my mother passed on, the lights in our lounge started to flicker, the other lights in the house stayed on.....
At the age of 21/22 I eperienced two OBE's , I was'nt dying, sick, on drugs or dunk, Lying on my bed, I felt me/myself leave my body, difficult to describe, I could'nt move my body, but felt myself drift above the bed, I "floated" to the roof and could see myself and my brother sleeping below..... It would be too long to describe what happened on both these occasions.... needless to say, I was disturbed by what had happened to me.... Realising that us as humans tend to forget details the older we get to promise myself never to forget what happened to me on those two nights.....that there is more to this life than we can possibly understand...
Years later, I was in the hospital next to my father when he died, I was sitting next to him waiting for the doctor, he was lying down on the table, moaning to me about his chest pains.... I was teasing him, strange sense of humour, after awhile he was silent, but still breathing, then suddenly I saw a white flash of light just to the left of his head, 4 seconds later he heaved, and in a good scottish accent, his last words were , "Oh Fu*&!" and he was gone.....
I don't care for what the Naysayers and religious folk say, I know, and for this matter, I fear not death, I do however feel sad for those of my kin I have to leave behind, knowing full well I shall see them all again.....
There are souls, but one has to wonder , do all people have them, for there are evil people who float amongst us....
(Liked my last line, now I sound like a nutter.....)

I don't care about your anecdotal ramblings, I see no reason anyone should believe in souls until after they're dead and find they still exist.
Your original question is the epitome of a stupid question. You may as well ask if all dragons are red.
