Anyone believing REINCARNATION aberration?

I believe people are in search of believing something that's why this kind of unrealistic beliefs like reincarnation occur.

Some people believe they will find the happiness and peace of mind they are looking for in religions such as Hinduism or Buddhism. Many people have been influenced by these eastern religions because of their aura of mystery and mysticism, and because they make use of techniques such as meditation, and because of the unusual attitudes, dress, manner of speech and religious practices of those who follow them.

However, although religions like Hinduism and Buddhism- among the oldest we know of-give some good ethical advice, not everything they contain is true.

Just got in from an early evening out and I've logged in to see what's what. Its after waaaay after midnight on a Sat night, the girlfriend is far far away and I've run out of ciggies, so naturally I'm a bit twitchy.

Even so this thread is a beauty. I truly hope the powers that be(you mods know who you are ) let this one run for the sake of open discussion. It's a subject very relevant to today's geopolitical state. Vis a vis, the east V west. America V the middle east, Islam and the west, etc.

I've noticed(after an admittedly short sojourn about these parts) that the threads that are started by Christian/religious types are removed/locked pretty quickly. I think I understand that thinking behind that, but I think it may be more enlightening to have an open debate on Mikal's position. After all Islam as an ideology has become more relevant to us in the west, given recent events.

Apologies Mikal if I'm reading more into this than you intend. I've checked out your other posts and....

...Given your geographical location, I'm assuming you're not a new age sun worshipper. To be fair, Turkey would be a better place to be a sun worshipper than Ireland, so you never know.

Rather than ignore this, I think(IMveryHO) we should maybe let this run it's course. I feel it would be useful to let Mikal put his case and see where the journey takes us. To be fair to him he has put this into the humanities forum, where it has a natural place. He also seems sincere in his beliefs so trolling will hopefully be kept to a minimum.
