Reincarnation is an even more bizarre concept than an afterlife. It's basically an afterlife for those with imaginations that limit them to earth. Doesn't make any sense.

We are our minds, so when we die we get funneled back into some guys/animals testicles waiting to be shot back out into a sperm race we are guaranteed to win. People are perfectly entitled to believe what they like, but I'm entitled to find stupidity stupid.

Reincarnation is one religion, and judgment day is another. The only way the 2 things could ever co-exist is with the fact that 2 incompatible religions are true at the same time.

No as I believe the concept of Heaven and Hell is used to control people's behaviour. I believe in the spiritual aspects where your soul stays in the open is true. The body decomposes and forms the earth.
