Well as a skeptic I am also interested in hearing what others have to say about their alleged past lives, so I hope to read more here. Being a skeptic doesn't interfere with that interest. I will also reserve the right of myself and others in a public forum to bring any and all questions about a topic into the discussion.One thing that I found strange was that nobody challenged katlaughing's assertion that rape would be a common experience for women and that this statement should not be offensive to either men or women. Where does this impression come from? Rape has happened in the past and continues to happen in the present, but not all women are direct victims of it and neither are all men direct perpetrators of it.
