Ahri can't even make up his mind where he lives.  I don't think he's going to be able to prove much.

How can you be logical about the illogical?

AHri is a guy?

Hmmm. Now I have to come up with another image for *him*

There may be a little fluidity.  Don't spend too much time on that.

I don't see my atheism as a matter of fighting faith. My atheism is a simple statement about my own lack of faith, nothing more, nothing less. What am I banging my head against?

I can think of a few reasons. What if you're burdened by your previous-lives' memories? After a while, wouldn't you get bored with eternal life, or eternal reincarnations in that case?

And if you get a free memory-wipe at the beginning of each new life, how would you know you're reincarnated at all?

I don't think you've really given this much thought, and are probably just trying to push buttons.

Evidence would be nice, but you being you, I'm not expectant.

See above reply.
