Would it be better to be an existentialist?
The soul and body exist simultaneously. The existentialist would have existence occur at birth, which would have existence before the soul whereas the soul is actually already there, only not known, or not well known. Their problem is confusion between whether the soul/personality is present and whether it is manifest. Most people who support murder of infants thru abortion of pregnancies do not recognize a soul in them either, even tho the li’l tyke can kick, or recoil in fear from a knife in the womb. No, existentialists exist in denial and call it “philosophy.” Denial is worse than ignorance–it is ignorance by choice.
