Nope. I'm Christian. One life and one chance to prove yourself to God.

i believe that there might be reincarnation. I don't want to say yes there is reincarnation and in the end not be any and i dont want to say there isnt such a thing as reincarrnation cuz then i will be reincarnated as something lower. Since there aren't any signs or proofs of reincarnation i just live my life hoping to one day find out.

I believe in the concept of rebirth, yes, because of the logical nature of it. Nothing in the universe as we know of it, and can logically theorize about, has a finite beginning nor a finite end, all things arise due to something else, nor does the mind, as we Buddhists theorize about it. So when we ask the question about where the mind goes when the body becomes something else, it's logical progression that the mind also must "become" something else... which we believe takes form again according to the karmic debt one has accrued in one realm or another (i.e. pretas or hungry ghosts, hell realms, god/goddess realms, animal rebirth, etc.).
Karma is a whole other discussion. If you're interested I'd recommend www.buddhanet.net to get a feel for it and links to other Buddhist sites that can explain these concepts in more depth than I have room to go into here... it can get rather lengthy.
Hope this helps you! May you find happiness. _()_

Im mot sure, but I think Id like to. I read an incredible story about a girl called Shanti Devi on the internet (not sure of the site) who was a young Indian child who remembered a place she lived and her old family, and when finally her family took her to the place, she showed them the directions off the train, and when she got to the house, she pointed out an extension to it which hadnt been there previously. Then, when she was showed the family (including some who werent to try to trick her) she recognised them and her husband and called him her pet name for him and blushed. Thats the story very briefly, but you should try putting her name into a search engine as its very good reading. Also read a fasinating book called We are One, which was about group reincarnation, which if true was amazing.

yes sure.....i m a buddhist. that why i think it is true. one of the reason is because of karma that are deeply connected to reincarnation. if you did a lot of good things in your past life, thus you will have reincarnate into a good life. otherwise, isnt it unfair if someone is borned into a poor family while another was borned into a rich family.
so i believe is true... :) do good thing always and be happy ...

We are alive now and that would be impossible if death could be experienced. When a person dies does something of his or her personality continue on to another person? No. When a person dies, he dies – period. However, as part of nature a new existence with a brand new consciousness will form because all there is is life, death cannot be experienced. Life is perennial, not reincarnational

Yes, yes because I can not accept the world as it appears, or I refuse to accept the world as it appears. Or, I can not bring myself to accept the world as it appears. For example, a fairly common event is a plane crash and children or infants are among to dead. I just don't accept that outcome as being the real end of the child.
It is just not fair, but my imagination and my faith can envision a more believable and appropriate explanation for the events of the world.
However, imagination is not enough for truly knowing another outcome, it also takes faith. So I imagined a meaning of faith that works for me.
What is the deference between belief and faith?
Belief is in part a matter of will power. Faith however is a form of knowing.
I know that every soul gets as much time and lives as necessary to accomplish all that is to be accomplished in life.
I know this as a fact because I have faith.

yes, i do.
in the bible, John the baptist was a reincarnation of Elijah.
also, sometimes the character of a deceased person is seen in that of a living person - the same spirit, passions, etc. This explains reincarnation.
I think that the Creator Himself can put the spirit of a dead person into someone else.
weird,in't?

Yes. I do not believe it is possible to learn everything that we need to learn to be at the level of existing with the Divine in peace and harmony within one lifetime. We return for successive lives to learn more lessons and attain greater spiritual wholeness and understanding.

Not really but wouldn't it be cool to find out that the people you hated turned into public toilet seats or something equally nasty in their next life?
I personally want to come back to life as Barbie. That b*tch has everything!

No, because I believe in the resurrection and the two ideas don't mesh well together.
