    With the exception, of course, his belief in the non-existence of altruism.

    We've collectively tucked that one away on the back shelf, behind the hacky sack and that signed photograph of Chesney Hawkes.

    And why is that, pray tell? Have you ever confronted him on his beliefs, after confronting others incessantly? Why not?

    Moreover (and regardless of your eagerness to derail a question not asked of you, when you can't even answer direct questions put to you), the question was asked of divegeester, because the answer to that specifically relevant question, given from his own viewpoint, contains the answer to his own question.

    You are the ever-present derailleur in this forum, an abandoned wheel-chock left in the middle of the runway.

    Why should sonship's beliefs be "left alone" on a debate and discussion forum?

    You haven't said why you think sonship's beliefs should be left alone.

    Unfortunately sir, debts are not transferable across incarnations.

    But isn't that a major point of reincarnation? Karma? Pay off debts that you accrued in past lives?

    Of course. That’s why that hamster came back, as a GoaD. He just doesn’t know it yet. The unfortunate thing is, I have to keep coming back until he figures it out.

    The only thing I remember sir, from my hamster days, is stuffing my cheeks full of cheese.

    Maybe (just maybe) I also recall borrowing three shillings from a chap with big ears and multiple chins, but how that accrued to 1200 pounds over several incarnations is beyond me.

    The major point of reincarnation is in fact human arrogance, that we would be so highly thought of by the gods, whatever THEY are, that we are given special treatment over the animals who presumably don't have this magical ability to pollute yet ANOTHER time and space over the original.
