American Media announces the existence of souls.

[NNadir]

"Unlike the United States, where politicking is nonstop and visits to Iowa and New Hampshire already have been scheduled despite the calendar, the papal election is the first in 26 years. And while the presidency calls for leading 296 million Americans, the job of pope involves more than 1 billion souls worldwide."

Living in a theocracy scares the shit out of me.

1. Only their viewers and readers. The corporate media is a bunch of

soulless liars.

2. That's certainly over the top.

I believe in souls, but until there is proof, it shouldn't be presented as fact.

3. It's figurative language

"A city of 50,000 souls"
"Poor soul"
Things like that. And when refering to the pope, whose functions are mostly religious, I see no problem with it.
