Originally posted by lucifershammerah but you also said: you (and therefore your essence as well) images God in a privileged way (because of its rational and even spiritual nature) that a spider's does not. such that my soul is supposed to be different from that of cats, dogs or spiders...but yes Lucifershammer, here I stand corrected 🙂
If you go back and read what I wrote when I was defining the Thomistic 'soul', you'll see that I said that all living beings have souls.
I could have worded my response better to convey the message I wanted but without this error
Also overlooked the point that though you argue the soul need not have any spiritual connotation it is both rational and *spirtitual* in its nature...with regards to your argument, very important and I should not have overlooked that in my subsequent posts 😉
