Nothing of what you said here differs from what I said.Yes, I did. Though Buddhists espouse that life is an endless cycle of suffering because of reincarnation, I am quite certain that not all of them see it as a bad thing. I wouldn't if that's what I believed.
Anyway, let's not make this more than what it is. I just included reincarnation in that list of concepts of a kind of existence after death without much thought. I didn't take into full account that Buddhism teaches that this is not preferable. I don't really care because whether it's reincarnation, nirvana, or some other mysticism about life or even a kind of pseudo-existence after this one it's all malarkey anyway.
