@fmf saidWait for it....wait for it....
Dasa believed that Christians were atheists. Never mind that.
Do you "fear" Dasa's threat that you might be reincarnated as a cockroach if you persist with your Christian beliefs?

@sonship saidSplendid.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
That is not the same thing sonship. I did not ask you to indicate that Hindus believe in reincarnation. (Obviously they do). I asked you to confirm you understand they believe 'THE SAME SOUL' is reincarnated.
Can you do that?!
RE-incarnation of the soul is taught in Hinduism.
Incarnated again and again and again, the same soul.
If you want to address anything tell me WHO ... WHO gets rewarded with final release from the tiresome cycle of Reincarnation say, for Life 1 -->2 ---> 3 --->4 ---> 2,990,479 (if that is how many re-cycles occurred) ?
Does Life 2,990,479 become happy having discharged all karma and released into the Ultimate Cosmic Unity (of sorts)?
@sonship saidAs it is the 'SAME SOUL' that is reincarnated (again and again) it is the 'SAME SOUL' that finally gets released into the 'Ultimate Cosmic Unity.'
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
It was unnecessary.
My question is still the same.

I will accept "I don't know" as a legitimate answer.
@fmf saidIdiotic.

@secondson saidI don't agree. There is a reason sonship is running away from the question "Do you 'fear' Dasa's threat that you might be reincarnated as a cockroach if you persist with your Christian beliefs?" I would not call either sonship's or Dasa's superstitions "idiotic". But both resisted scrutiny of their beliefs and just made assertions [coupled with personal remarks] instead.
Idiotic.
@fmf saidIt's idiotic. Neither sonship nor I or any other Christian gives even the slightest credence to reincarnation.

@secondson saidThe fact that sonship doesn't give credence to reincarnation is the point. You obviously haven't been following the exchanges over the last week or so.
It's idiotic. Neither sonship nor I or any other Christian gives even the slightest credence to reincarnation.
There's no such thing. It's idiotic.
@secondson saidWould it be "perfect justice" if you were reincarnated as a cockroach by a divine entity that you feel [as a non-believer in this instance] you have no credible reason to believe exists?
Neither sonship nor I or any other Christian gives even the slightest credence to reincarnation.There's no such thing.
As it is the 'SAME SOUL' that is reincarnated (again and again) it is the 'SAME SOUL' that finally gets released into the 'Ultimate Cosmic Unity.'
All 2,990,479 lives (in your example) are the 'SAME SOUL' making their spiritual journey towards enlightenment and release.
Your question is a strange one, having just confirmed you understand that it is the 'SAME SOUL' that is reincarnated (each life a consequence of the karma of the previous incarnation).
@sonship saidAre you going to answer FMF’s question?

@secondson saidBut believing in literal multi-headed beasts being ridden by literal whores literally wearing clothes dripping with the literal blood of Christians is completely rational...?
It's idiotic. Neither sonship nor I or any other Christian gives even the slightest credence to reincarnation.
There's no such thing. It's idiotic.
@secondson saidPlease explain why it is okay for you to call a key facet of another religion (reincarnation) idiotic and why it would not be okay for me (as an atheist) to call the resurrection of Jesus idiotic?
It's idiotic. Neither sonship nor I or any other Christian gives even the slightest credence to reincarnation.

@sonship saidAll enlightened souls escape the cycle of rebirth and attain 'unity.' (However you want to describe it). Krishna himself was an incarnation of Vishnu (Godhead of the Hindu Trinity of deities).
