Thoughts on Buddhism

[Frank]

I always hear spiritualists talking about evidence of reincarnation (e.g. the story of a kid who remembers being a fighter pilot in a previous war or something to that affect). These stories are commonly centered around something a kid might find pretty cool (like being a fighter pilot, soldier, fireman, etc.). I've never heard of someone remembering their prior life as a cow or insect. Maybe there are stories like this in Asia or wherever; and these sort of stories do tend to have distinguishing characteristics along cultural lines (which is an obvious red flag in itself).

All in all Buddhism has no more of an evidentiary basis than any other religion; and should accordingly be rejected by the rational thinker.
