My first thought when I saw the first post was: Why not sell your soul to every religion, and then see what happens?
I like the idea of having a soul. And I have sold my own to every belief I have had an interest in. I would think I have taken back my soul when I lose interest, but I have made contracts in blood as well (Haha, I really like selling my soul).
The person making the claim that your soul is bound by the religion you were brought up in (let's say I make that claim), might just experience the cycle of the psyche, where stuff (emotions, thoughts, ideas, beliefs etc.) comes back to be reviewed again (here I would suddenly ponder about christianity and realizing how it effects me here and now, and then realize how it is rooted in my thoughts etc., but the cycle will move on.)
Conceptions of what your soul is will change with time. At least it has been radically so with myself. I no longer care about what happens when I die, but know it will be a great thing, and focus on my time here on earth (which is short for everyone).
So, for those Realms claiming to have you after you die, just give them the finger and see what they can do about it. (IMG:
