Thread Name: Alternative Beliefs - a pattern?
Subject: RE: Alternative Beliefs - a pattern?
Awwwwwww, but I wanna think!! It's been so long since I even could........

Well, maybe I never could, but I tend to agree with all of the above. There are many things people alive now will never know, things our great grandchildren will never know, and things that perhaps humans never should know. Look at the differences in just the last 100 years.

Things we take for granted, our grandparents would never have believed, like talking to you on this computer. Some things, probably including re-incarnation, will always be matters of faith. I don't really consider re-incarnation to be an "alternative" belief. Millions of Buddhists, Hindi, etc. have believed in it for thousands of years. Alternative to what? Cold, hard fact? There is damn little of that, even in the Scientific World.

Apples are red, except for green Granny Smiths, yellow Delicious, etc.
