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.

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.
