does anyone believe in reincarnation? and why or why not?

Answer 1

nope don't believe in that crap

Answer 2

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Answer 3

I think we are in more control of our afterlives than we realize; which means, reincarnation is every bit of a possibility as anything else. In Norse ideology, we, too, believe that reincarnation is a possibility among others. However, we view reincarnation a bit differently. We believe if one chooses to be reincarnated, that person is reincarnated back into the family line to strengthen the family line.

Every afterlife, if the concept of an afterlife is accepted, is possible, depending on the individual. There is not just one hell, nor is there just one heaven. Look out in the universe, and beyond that, the multiverse. The possibilities are ENDLESS. No one has one right answer for everybody. No one has one right way for all.

Answer 4

As a Tibetan Buddhist, I do. The concept is that the mind goes on after the body's death and takes rebirth according to the state of mind at death and karma. It's quite a logical concept when you logically or analytically study the concepts of what we believe the "cause" of mind is and so forth. The concept ties in, heavily, with the concept of karma and the other Buddhist concepts about the nature of the "bardo" (the in-between state, between death and rebirth) the other realms of existence and so forth.

Hope this helps.
