Reincarnation

[Pyramidsonmars]

I believe that we are currently time traveling, and it's a more plausible theory than reincarnation.

I had to laugh

[Pyramidsonmars]

Well, what happens if you don't believe in any of that bullshit (including Purgatory, which is more BS)? You just don't exist on any level, you say? So your body is just worm food and that's it? Well, I guess no one can ever know...

If you believe in God than it should be plausible to believe he will give us some kind of "hint" somewhere in our lives...a BIG hint.

Fuck yeah modest mouse:

"I'm in this place that I call home
my brains the cliff and my heart's the bitter buffalo

big hint? screw that, i feel like i've been getting a lot of BIG hints... i need an OBVIOUS hint lol

Reincarnation is a nonsense idea. If my "soul" is recycled into another human being, yet that person knows nothing of my life or who I am, what does it mean to say that that person is me? So far as I'm concerned, who I am is based on my experiences and memories, combined with the particular body I find myself inhabiting. Everything I have experienced has had an effect on me, and the sum of all those effects is my personality. A new person with my "soul" but none of my memories would form his own personality based on his own experiences, and would not be related to me in any identifiable way.

Then again, the very idea of a soul is also a nonsense idea. What does it mean to be immaterial? The only immaterial things I can think of are non-existent things. If something is immaterial, i.e. made of nothing, then it doesn't exist. I can't conceive of something that doesn't exist yet exists at the same time, like gods our souls which are supposedly not made of anything yet still somehow in the realm of existence.

If something is "supernatural", it is not part of the natural world, i.e. it cannot be observed or detected. All supernatural entities have no influence on the natural world, otherwise they would be part of the knowable and observable natural world. Souls are claimed to be immaterial and supernatural. How can they possibly affect our world then? How do they not influence physical reality in some measurable way to make our bodies act out our decisions, thereby including themselves in the realm of the natural? They would have to, logically speaking. And then they would not be supernatural entities anymore. They would be some sort of physical reality. A few hundred years ago pretty much everybody believed that the soul was indeed a physical reality, but they imagined it to be kind of a transparent ether-like substance. Now we know that they were partly right. The mind is a physical structure, but it manifests itself as the brain. The brain is your mind, and your mind is your brain. When your brain dies, so does your mind and your consciousness. Unless somebody revives your brain and puts it into a new body, reincarnation just isn't going to happen.

Don't worry folks, because reincarnation will be possible in the future using advanced technosynergic computers.

Repent you wicked servant!

Choose you master!

You can only love one!

You can serve the world and feast on the lusts of the flesh or you can serve My Son! It is impossible to serve both! My Word declares it and this personal prophecy Revelation 18 warning from the LORD 2006 repeats it now!

You say My Son is a liar and deny His teaching. Your teachers teach you lies from Satan. Your prophets seduce you and sell you prophecy that is false and from the pit and if you can't even accept the milk of the Word you fat babies, how can you ever accept the meat?

hmm i wrote that on a particularly rough patch of dxm induced delusion. I actually posted a few totally insane things around the spirituality board (including one that linked ancient temples to movies that somehow correlated to endtimes prophecy). Just a phase, i guess. I also believed i was an archangel. aha madness. see what happens when u read the bible on dxm?
I still wholeheartedly support a vegan lifestyle as morally superior but i dont think the connection to the christian biblical apocolypse is..quite accurate. although our reckless meat consumtion will probably be a catalyst towards our extinction.

I wont say I believe in reincarnation or wathever but I know 1 thing

die an happy man..that's all

I also know that when you are happy you have more energy so that energy goes somewhere when you die...dunno where and actually I dont really care since for now we sure as hell dont know what happens for sure when we die

I'll stick with the important things like what to do with the time I have today to be proud of myself. Keep the energy flowin peacefully.

bah what do I know anyway..right?

I wonder what revelations or ideas you have if you are high and on your deathbed...must be pretty wicked toughts hehe
