You obviously did not understand the definition you gave us- I was trying to explain it to you. I will try again.

The
animating and vital principle in the human being, credited (credit is a synonym for
BELIEF- I put this in because I do not think you understand that Websters is not telling you the soul exists- they are saying it is the vital principle BELIEVED [by some people- obviously Websters doesn't mean to imply everyone believes in the soul, to animate the human being- not that it DOES animate the human being, but that SOME people BELIEVE it does- quite a difference there) to animate the human being)with the faculties of thought,
action, and emotion and often conceived imagined- here I inserted the word imagined, because to conceive means [aside from to become pregnant], to form a conception of - IMAGINE, to aprehend by reason or IMAGINATION, to be of the OPINION of, to take into one's mind a PREJUDICE. To CONCEIVE is not necessarily to be correct. as an immaterial entity."

You used the dictionary definition as some sort of proof that souls exist. I am sure Websters did not anticipate your use of it in this manner, NOR do I think you read and interpreted the definition correctly.

Since you have incorrectly interpreted what I have said over and over again, my admiration for your comprehension skills is nil.
