The other one is, when he said that most Buddhists will say there was no soul/eternal self in Buddhism, and true self in Buddhism are diametrically opposed to what we normally think of as "ourselves". One using general understanding, but the other one use 'special' understanding. So.. whether the answer is yes or no, Buddhist's answer will labeled wrong or not understand.
And the true self can not be interpreted as true soul. The closest right meaning of the true self is the one's own true nature.
These days, articles written by someone who only studied Buddhism and have an academic title are more reliable than articles from someone who didn't have an academic title but have followed Buddhism his whole life

If you think that it is a very reliable source, than take it.
My reliable source only from my teacher who is a Buddhist monk and my seniors(also a Buddhist). Also Tripitaka
Btw, I think you should read his article about Buddha and God. I think you won't find it on his website, but you still will find it on internet.

He is a Buddhist
I find lots of reliable sources on the internet which I find interesting, I like to see how others interpret teachings in their own individual way like the Buddha told us to do, but at the end of the day the most reliable way is my way not any Teachers, a Teacher teaches their own interpretation, I look inside for my own interpretation.
I'm not really interested in Buddha & God articles,you enjoy it, or not enjoy it.....
