    Of course, as you say its a silly old book full of lies, so who cares, eh?
    I have always maintained that the Bible has wisdom and error.

    The error part is misdirecting all who follow it.

    One example of error is....that it allows animal slaughter.

    Another error is....it says persons only have one life to choose Jesus or damnation.

    Another error is.....that the man Jesus is God.

    There are many more.

    I'm just grateful that I have the error free vishvahetu to clear all that up. 😛

    I suppose this means you don't plan to come back. Am I correct in these assumptions?
    I have taken birth many many times like everyone else, and I also know I am not yet ready to return home to Godhead.

    But living the spiritual life will afford me a pious birth next life, and I may continue to progress on the path, until I reach unalloyed love of God.

    I presume from your posts that we must enter some sort of enlightenment or "sinless" state before we break the cycle of "birth". Judging the rate of population explosion I would presume that things are not working out so well.
    We age because we do not live in the eternal spiritual world.

    Every time we take a new birth we have the opportunity to question God and life, and to live in spiritual or material consciousness.

    This is the age of Kali Yuga, and the population expansion means nothing having the universal perspective, because their are unlimited planets and unlimited universes for souls to come from or go to.
