This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 26, 2007:
Reincarnated. Because the whole idea behind reincarnation is progression through attainment of wisdom and insight... and also the idea of a permenant heaven or hell has never appealed to me- it is just so fixed and permenant.
Religions that teach of heaven and hell say that a person has only one lifetime- one tiny horrifyingly miniscule dot in the scope of existance, and your decisions in that microscopic lifetime have ETERNAL consequences. In the scope of eternity, that just seems like such small hope.
But, skeptical as I am, I don't really believe in either reincarnation or heaven. But I would like to believe in reincarnation.
