..... However, if rebirth does exist, then I will be happy I believed in it and that I (hopefully) took steps in this life to prepare for a better next life

Dear pinkguava,

You're assuming a continuing " I " which is then fully aware of its past life. I'm wondering if you have heard of "anatta" or not-self - and I highly recommend that you read 'Anatta and Rebirth" by Bhikkhu Buddadasa.
