To Cassandra "what did a christian ever do to you?"
They tried to turn me into a brainwashed automaton causing me to quit my education earlier than I should. Tried to make me stop thinking and give them money.
I got quite a few kickings from 'christians' from other sects.
They also gave me a history of 2000 years of muddled thinking.

Well, the first time around on this roller coaster has been a really interesting and swell ride, so I think I'll try for a second time around the loop.

You are growing up all the time
When you are reaching the limit and your container not enough to keep your body then you will reborn in the other container.
1. Sunday, The container of spirit (Karobiyun)
2. Monday, The container of sperm
3. Tuesday, The container of embryo
4. Wednesday,The container of human
5. Thursday, The container of the death (Barzakh)
6. Friday, The Mahsyar (judgement field)
7. Saturday, The Heaven and the Hell
At the step no 7 you can say that you have created in 6 / 7 days (steps)
The small scale of the 7th is Saturday.
The 6th (Friday) is the most critical step and at the Friday a Moslem goes to the Mosque.
At Sunday, before Karobiyun and you have created in Karobiyun itself, there is only The Holy Name of God and nothing else.
Ask your Moslem friend about "Bismillah hir rokhman nir rokheem" (the first)
At Friday, Moslem have more chanche when praying. Ask your Moslem friend about the 6th, "Ihdinash shirottol mustaqeem"
I would like to give you much more evidences when you are ready to listen to.
If you have asked your moslem friend about those two then I know that you are ready to listen more further.

Life is a process of growth.
Sometimes we celebrate and mark out the death of the old outlook, and the birth of the new. A selection of the major changes in our outlook to life, also known as rites of passage, are birth, death, marriage, conversion/initiation, or even a "21st birthday party".
Being "born again" can be part of growing up.
"The child dies, and the adult is born".
Big question is "When a person dies, what is born then?"
This is a traditional song which might help embody what I mean. see http://www.pokkettz.demon.co.uk/barleycorn/

It always amuses me when I see people trashing Christians for one reason or another. I am not a Christian, but I understand the ideology... you are born twice and die only once. It means you are born again as a believer and that your soul will live on. I really don't get the jokes and stuff... what did a Christian ever do to you?

You are a Spirit living in a body.
You, a Spirit look just like your body.
When you came to the Earth to be born into a Human Body, you got messed up because of what Adam did (messed up his own Spirit) and passed it down to us.
The messed up Spirit keeps you out of Heaven.

If you want to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again.
Jesus said> Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5.
NOW this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:50.

Jesus said that one must be born again to see the kingdom of God ( John 3:3) This means to be born again of the Spirit of God-- not to come out of your mothers womb twice. It is a spiritual born again- Being redeemed by Christ, and forgiven when you believe in Him- acknowledge sin and repent of it.
You are born again in Jesus Christ, made new. Clean slate!

you know, maybe I HAVE been born, again, by growing up and coming out the world of Christianity, into the light, relieved of all the baggage.
