If the Earth is their 'soul farm' and they are harvesting our souls, how can that be considered good?
Also, if their intentions are good, couldn't they just come out and explain what their doing? Especially if it's ultimately for good (I'm assuming you meant good for us, not necessarily good for them).

Then why in the heck would you think aliens would bother to tell us humans anything after watching us carefully and determing that our primary skill/activity was that of hammering each other on the internet?

Do you know why the aliens are harvesting our souls specifically?
Also, since the soul has always been something of a debate amongst scientists, do you know the scientific or theoretical basis for a soul? Have the aliens shared this tidbit with us?
What exactly happened with our souls before the aliens harvested them, or has this been something thats occurred from the beginning?

This has been going on since the beginning. Thats what it is all about.
Frankly, I have no idea what the alternative is. Do you? If so, tell the readers.
What society are you living in? We love, we recreate, have sex, create art, build cars, build skyscrapers, teach children,.....get the point? For instance, my primary skill is making incredible scrambled eggs. They are to die for.
But another question. Just exactly what are these aliens marketing the souls for? I mean, it sounds like a silly question, but the idea is pretty weird: literally selling souls. What do they want to sell these souls for, and to whom?
I suppose my question is really, just what do you know about the aliens themselves as people/beings in general?
Now you say this has been going on since the beginning.
I have to ask what beginning your talking about ?
The only thing I know for iron clad sure is that I don't know anything for sure about aliens.

Mr. Lear,
I know, I said I was done with this thread. So sue me. I think you're the first poster to respond to my "in your face" style with grace and wit. That changes things.
Are you absolutely certain about our soul? Keep in mind, the idea that we even possess a soul is still, only an idea. Why am I certain my soul is completely independent and free? Why does my soul feel that your philosophy is incorrect? Why am I utterly certain, in my "soul", that the idea that my soul is somehow controlled by other entities to be a copout, and simply a replacement for a christianity style religion?
