Welp, I'm going to be a father, so it got me thinking-
When does the soul actually "enter" or bind itself to the physical body?
What does "baptism" *actually* do to the soul? I think it must have great significance as our ancestors have been performing similar rituals for far longer than the Christian idea of baptism.

Hey congratulations man. Also, idk
Sick trips tho
The soul 'enters' A physical body as you produce sperm.
Baptism just makes your baby's head wet for a bit.

Souls are a work of fiction, they don't exist in a literal form. I know it's fun to pretend, it's fun to believe in this stupid fairy tale shit, but it's not true. If you believe souls are a thing, you're mentally ill. I also hope your son dies in the womb.

Congrats op. I have no idea when a soul enters the body, But I want to say the moment of conception. It animates the inanimate. Everything from a blade of grass to the bird soaring in the sky has a sliver of life in it.
The atheists and none spiritual will tell you otherwise, But you can pretty much safely ignore them. In fact, people like >>19336187

The soul enters the body when the heart's electro-magnetic field is able to keep it "locked in"

If anyone is mentally ill it's you.

This, but more like souls are a metaphor for something we can't really understand. It is "true" in the sense that your experience would work accordingly as you believe humans have souls. In fact, your whole experience right know is a metaphor, you are imagining you are a person, in a shared world, posting on 4chan, but there's essentially nothing behind that, it's just awareness what your experience is made of. You could say this life is like a "stuck" or "persistent" dream.

Congratulations anon, I'm super jelly!!! In terms of the past lives/reincarnation concept, I know that some belief systems hold that we are constantly 'reborn' into our own families; for example maybe your best friend in this life was your parent in the past. I always liked this idea, I think it's pretty cute.
It's okay to get an abortion still. There is no soul in that creature yet.
I have a friend who has a vivid memory of watching himself as a young child, 3 or 4, running in circles in his living room and descending into his body. The guy has never lied to me once and he isn't very religious so this memory conflicts with his understanding of the world, leading me to believe it is either at a young age when memories start forming, or he had an incredibly vivid dream as a child that imprinted on his memory.

It's always there and everything has one.

I've heard more than 1 soul can reside in 1 body. They "meld" together.
