[Big A]

It is a system that observes, records, punishes, ranks, assigns.
That takes a hell lot of intelligence. So who decides all the rules?

[HedgeYourBets]

you seriously cannot reflect this question on your own religion?

[PhillipHer]

Are you telling us you don't know about your own Buddhism? If you don't know just say so. There is no shame in not knowing

[doctorzlo]

really? all these one liners? dont you have anything else to add?
you are just wasting the forum's backend storage space.

[PhillipHer]

I am still waiting for your answer to the creation of this reincarnation system sir. If you don't know don't waste your time

[Lt_Apple]

[doctorzlo]

Actually seems that a lot of religions used to believe in reincarnation, not just Buddhists.

Some books just conveniently discarded chapters when it doesn't fit in properly to the popular theory of the time. Even in their religion, there are so many sects that continuously kill and murder each other just because of discrepancy or disagreement in their chapters.

Thousands of years later, some books still don't gell even when they went through so many edits. So far no religion have healed an amputated limb and made it whole.

Quite an interesting read.

actually it is indeed true that early forms of christianity did indeed believe in reincarnations, there are many written historical records on it. in fact many pastors i talked to surprised that i know this as this is too acadamic for most. (yes i was from a church bible class to know more about this stupid fucktard religion). current form of christainity is very much different from those earlier days, many are altered by significant individuals that start their own sects. For that matter of fact, those that call themselves "christians" and not catholics i bet they did not know that their form of christainity was intially just a sect/or even viewed as cult of the catholic church.

A lot of hot bull again bro vamkoj.
But you still don't know who was behind this design of the reincarnation system?

[Lillie_Steins]

The Buddha never taught reincarnation. He only taught rebirth. There is a huge distinction.

Actually catholicism and Buddhism shared many similar things.

One would wonder if they are in fact one religion.

Has rebirth been verified or it is just guess work?

To store individual deeds and actions requires massive storage.

Where can nature provide such huge hardisk?

see, typical modern days christians that did know do any research. most did not know of this which i am not surprised and many think i am bullshitting till they check with someone studying religion acadamically.

[TorryJens]

So modern day Buddhists don't know about their reincarnation system?

Dear Scientist (???) Rojak,

Look you are not quite speechless to my thread...could you help to compute the probability that the first verse of the Bible (Genesis 1:1) that has over two dozens multiple of 7 could be written by random chance....

Be warned, this is only one exercise for you....once you have computed this...there are still many to go.....

[radikal]

What is the diff sir?

Reincarnation assumes the existence of that inviolable intrinsic essence of an individual (which as a Christian, you would call a soul) that is incarnated again and again.

Rebirth doesn't assume that.

So who decides where and what you will be to and on what criteria?
