The controversial idea is right at the beginning of my thread, so you've just wasted us precious time.

Hello Meritocrat

Your opening post is full of tired old and unsubstantiated and unsupportable rhetoric against the Abrahamic faiths.

For instance: as a Christian this statement of yours is compatible with my beliefs

The essence of Illumination, the secret religion of the Illuminati, is that it is possible for any human being to literally become God.

Your post title is wrong. It should read: "my poor reasoning to try and dismiss something as justification for my vague superstitions".

I don't care about stupid and irrational opinions, so leave your poor attitude at the door.

This is a faith-based belief. There is certainly no evidence for reincarnation.

Yet you argue that we must abjure faith.

You contradict yourself.

I offered you a point in refutation. You just called me names and said nothing.

Are we supposed to just take your weird for it, or do you actually have some training to offer?

I would prefer insights or questions related to my post, not to know who suffers from logophobia.

Thank you.

And I would prefer posts from someone who doesn't suffer from pompousophillia.

Hey Meritocrat.

I really did try. But it was really too long. I scanned half of it and couldn't anymore.

Please give us the short version if you want to discuss something

[Edwardo Piet]

OK, i'll bite. Here's the idea: becoming a God.

Still interested? Or stop sign?

I guess you must have skipped your medication this morning.

All is forgiven, I forget mine sometimes too.

What the fuck!! Didn't i say the purpose of my thread was to get you to ask questions? Where are they? This was just an introduction. Do you really expect me to write it all down here? Most people won't even read the OP, let alone what is to come.

Reincarnation is not a faith-based belief, unless Philosophy is now a religion. Like i said, ask anything at all instead of ignorantly criticizing me.
