Now. Can I just say that the whole idea of re-incarnation is positively laughable.

You are born. Born with nothing but physical genetic memory to guide you. You don't know how to use the muscles in your body properly, you don't know how to interpret what your eyes tell your brain you are seeing. You can't count, you can't talk, and even if you could you have no comprehension of any language.

You can't control your bowels, hand movements or neck. All you know is bright light hurts, and boob sucking is good.

Now, if you'd lived before, do you not perhaps think that you'd have a little more control over what you were doing?

Popping out of the womb and declaring "Woah momma, you should wash down there once in a while" hasn't, to my knowledge, ever happened.

Re-incarnation can only seem to work if you forget EVERYTHING you ever experienced. Now, wiping the slate clean to that extent, with no possibility to recover the memory, and putting you in a completely different environment means that you will be a different person.

Ipso facto, re-incarnation, the rebirth of the soul in a new body, is a complete load of pants.

Unless of course everyone comes back as a snail, and for some reason loses all sense what ecactly should be seen walking along the pavement in the rain, and what the chances are of survival when the fellow "still-humans" walk past.

Or are they fish? Perhaps, certainly fish try to communicate with humans once in a while, more often than not by running away or eating your arm, but that could be seen as contempt for humans having found peace in their new life.

No. Actually I don't believe that for a second.

Essentially then, the "soul" doesn't really exist. The whole idea of "soul" seems to me to be a way of saying that our personalities are fixed, and regardless of what environment we were raised in, we would be the same as the imprint given us by the "soul".

This is pants.

Obviously, if you have no soul, you can't go to heaven, if no-one has a soul, no-one can go to heaven. If no-one can go to heaven, heven doesn't exist. No heaven, no hell.

I imagine no gods either.

Straying from the point though.

Re-incarnation is a laughable concept.

I like the way you always are willing to accept other people's viewpoints without sneering and parading your version as "the only possible answer"

you know you have lived a previous life?

So one day you woke up and realised, "christ, I'm born"

davyboy: Hello mum
mum: wtf???!! it spoke!?!?
davyboy: well yes. I'm no ordinary child, I am the re-incarnation of Henry Tudor, that is "henry the 7th"
dad: wtf??!!!
mum: what do we do?
dad: KILL IT!!
dad *stomps on child several times*

Hmmmmmm is it so laughable I know I have lived a pervious life :0) Infact all souls are reborn unless they do great harm, hence the term of a mans or womans soul being draged down to hell. Also some people believe reincarnation is closly linked to ghosts.
