But the whole point of the soul is that it's not a body part.
It's literally the defining characteristic of the soul, which differentiates it from the physical body, which rots once it's dead, while the soul presumably does not.
Yeah, bad mistake there. Also, you can buy allegedly haunted relics on eBay, so apparently it's cool as long as the soul has been laundered. What's the harshest non-slur word for stupid these days? Because this is that.
Sidebar, apparently you can also pay to have people cast spells for you. My favourite was a $100 service that allegedly involves a nine-witch coven spending hundreds of man hours to cast anything you wish. If that's not some kind of money laundering scam I'll be severely disappointed.
💀💀💀
now now, don't be derogatory over a definitional issue. people of different cultural traditions define the soul differently. also i hear etsy has taken witch spells off the menu because of captain popsoff, but that might have been that specific coven having an oh shit did we actually do this moment. i bet you could place a personal on craigslist or something tho
eBay TOS as a 'cultural tradition' 🤣
That's the thing though, if that sort of magic worked it would be illegal.
maybe they stumbled on the secret combination of words and woo to make it work! we all have to try again at the next midseason!
The soul is currently part of a body. And I guess if you're selling it for after it leaves the body eventually, it's a pre-order, and possibly also against the eBay policy?
That's Plato's viewpoint, Aristotle's is that soul and body are one, not separate.
Most philosophy about souls evolved from those two viewpoints and they are still valid concepts since we can't really know yet.
THE SOUL IS A FEATHERLESS BIPED!
It is still something a human needs to live, so in spirit I'd say it would be against ToS to sell it (presuming it was real, of course)
