Susan,

Michael has posted many threads at GHMB in support of reincarnation ideas. He knows that almost everyone will have some doubts, so he loads each thread with interesting stories and studies consistent with his perspective.

I'm personally open to Michael's perspective, since I consider myself to be a Cartesian Dualist, but I've never made it nearly as far as Michael. Partly, I see difficulties with various versions of reincarnation, and partly I question either the findings--or more often--the assumptions one must make to keep the pieces of the puzzle together. That doesn't prevent me from appreciating Michael's threads.

You've once again jumped into a thread without doing your homework--and this thread by Michael requires considerable effort, checking out his supporting evidence. Even if you had checked, it would have been half hearted--just enough to discredit.

Because your homework is so incomplete--or an assignment you can't master--your comments come across as superficial and shallow. At the same time, you promote a scientistic reinterpretation of his ideas into your evangelistic atheism.
