Of course, if you still say: "Nonsense. Total rubbish", you are probably dismissing, in one fell swoop:
two or three major religions; lots of spiritual teachings that don't subscribe to any particular religion; a lot of research into phenomena like past-life regression hypnosis and near-death experiences etc.
I'm not telling you what to believe or not believe. I'm just pointing out the implications, when you casually dismiss, at one single go, impaul99's explanation, ""Nonsense. Total rubbish". |
I don't think reincarnation is total rubbish. But I also don't think that children who are raped and murdered are 'getting what they deserve' because they earned it in an earlier life. That sounds like a way to make people accept bad things and still believe in the multiple religions you mentioned. That kind of thinking has that 'opiate of the masses' feel to it to me.
