       You don't know whether any beings have multiple lives or not much less can   
   you lay out an explanation as to whether or not any do. You in particular are   
   far too small minded and shallow to even have a realistic interpretation as to   
   whether or not it's possible, and if so how it possibly could be. It's amusing   
   to think you could lay it out, but it's amusing because you're so very very   
   incapable of even making an attempt.   
      
       BTW I don't have a belief one way or the other about it, but I am able to   
   consider the possibility unlike yourself.

       I point out that they don't. Whether that's an "attack" or not would depend   
   on individual interpretation. Since eliminationists want to NOT contribute to   
   future lives for livestock, what makes you feel it's an attack for me to point   
   out that they don't? Do you think it's an attack on Zebras when people point   
   out   
   that they have stripes? Do you think it's an attack on meat consumers to point   
   out that they contribute to life for livestock?

       That's a blatant lie I doubt anyone is stupid enough to believe...except   
   MAYBE for yourself, but doubt even you are honestly that stupid.   
      
       Since billions of people DO believe in multiple lives, why is it so   
   important to you Goos to get people to think I do to? Do you even have an idea   
   why it's important to you for people to believe that particular lie? What if I   
   was a Hindu and did believe it? Then what?
