EvF,

I meant what I said, I find myself believing in both a soul and reincarnation. I know they are irrational but I can't let go of the nagging belief in them due to some personal experiences I just can't move into the hallucination category.

It would be nice and tidy to believe that atheism is some evolutionary step toward some perfect rational worldview but nature is far from nice and tidy and even less so when humans are involved so... there you have it.
