but i also believe the soul is pure and that only the physical body can be damaged and once you die your inner self can be released unscathed...i'm not saying all souls are good ones...but that the physical body may act as a shield to protect it from damging the soul...hence the brain damage...and diseases...

man im jibbering now but ye when you die ya soul remains the same...my opinion
