I have recently begun to meditate and found how useful it is. I feel more efficient at work and I feel more relaxed as a person for example. I have also begun to understand other things in Buddhism to be true. For instance, I have stopped believing that things like a new car or big television will bring me happiness (which I almost believed before).
But before I call myself a Buddhist, I feel that it is important to understand rebirth because it is very central to the religion and everything else is built upon it more or less.
How can I understand rebirth? Do I gain insight in it after a while or do I need real faith? Are there any logical arguments to believe in rebirth?

KORAN SAYS THAT ALLAH SENT MESSAGES TO MOHOMED THROUGH AN ANGEL. WHAT PROOF CAN MUSLIMS GIVE AN ATHEIST LIKE ME THAT THIS STORY IS TRUE?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SULTAN'S WHO FLY ON MAGIC CARPETS?

they can have them the minute they arrive in the shops? Like the PS3 for example, and people fighting and getting shot?? Can't people wait a few days or a week? Life is more than gaming and clothes and food......
Are people's priorities so skewed?? Joe

... and can get one over on homophobic straight guys with their quick comebacks and wisecracks? Do these gay comedians fit the heterosexual stereotype of being gay? Are any one of them just assumed to be gay by their mannerisms and personality? I hope some of them don't identify with the portrayal of trying to appear and behave like the opposite gender.

I know I should try to ignor the igronance of others but I don't find it that easy to do so and I find it upsetting because I havn't done anything wrong and I was wondering if there are any other wiccans out there having the same problems.

Christianity and Catholocism were brought to North and South America by Europeans from the Old World. True? Before 1492, natives of North and South America, did not know anything about Jesus. True? "One must accept Christ as their saviour to go to heaven". True? If these 3 statements are true, then where do you think are the millions/billions of deceased pre-Colombian Native Americans souls that were never introduced to Jesus? Are they burning in hell? Let's hear both sides.

Just a lil' question/dilemma/or whatever..I am in my early 20's and an asian female..Just want to know your thoughts on this..Its not that I hate being asian..in fact I do sometimes wish i was non asian..I hate hanging out in places where there's a congregation of asians..And I hate when asian people approach me thinking that because I'm asian, that we're all gonna be friends...I had heaps of asian friends at high school, in fact just about all my high school friends were asians..but now since i've lost touch with all of them I don't know any. I feel like as an asian, i have to prove myself more..'cos theres all these sterotypes and crap..ugghh..I just get pissed off. I strongly believe that the world is kinder to whites. Its like when I meet people or whatever and when they hear me speak, they're like "WOW..your english is so good"..Its like what the hell, because i'm asian i have to speak like retard..Am i making sense? maybe i'm sounding a lil' irate right now..

That is what french call : "Humour anglais", which would mean something like the "english way of joking" ... i can't find the words to translate it. By the way I love the English comedies, and the way English people joke ! ;-)

My apologies if this seems a harsh question to any Wiccans, I don't mean it to, just want to know people's thoughts. My oldest daughter is a Wiccan.

Makes no sense why an omniscient and omnipotent god would whipe out the earth of 99.99% of its inhabitants with the excuse to "set people right" if subsequent generations go back to being amuck.
