Well, I pity you too, Wolfgang, but I'm much too nice and polite a person to ever say so... ;-)

(That was a joke. In fact, I do not pity you. But do you get my point?)

You don't really know me at all. I probably don't really know you at all either. I certainly wouldn't assume that I do. If we were able to meet in real life and talk at some length over a period of time, with respect, then we might get to know each other.

I'm very interested in evidence whenever and wherever I can find it. But it's not my job to prove or disprove the existence of the soul, is it? Nor do I have a laboratory means of doing so. I have changed my mind about numerous things due to coming across evidence of one sort or another. I don't know if there is a soul or if there is reincarnation, I merely think it probable, that's all.

I have seen a couple of miracles in my life...certainly not when I expected to...but I can't reproduce them in a lab for you because I wasn't in control of them.

Will I describe them for you? No. Not a chance. What would be the point? It wouldn't accomplish anything good, pleasant or useful. I have no interest in exposing certain things that are very precious to me in my own life history to the utterly uncomprehending blank stare of various opinionated people who have no respect for or interest in such things, and who would only use my story as a target for attack.

Remember, Wolfgang, as Ali G always says..."Respec'" Respect is the key to good relations.

And I respect you.
