That's the point I'm trying to get across - there are millions of us who do not care to follow christ or read the bible yet we are ethical, love peace, love one another, have forgiveness and are selfless. All that did not come from a ife of devotion to a god, we're just like that because we were raised that way. And that's how I'm raising my kids.

When I was two I began calling my grandmother by a name only ever used by her own father for her. He died a year before I was born. I also told her that I forgave her. It scared the hell out of her at first. So, do I believe in reincarnation? I don't know but my Grandmother says she does now.

I believe in reincarnation. I am atheist, however, and I have lived for hundreds of years. I am physically sixteen. It makes little sense to me; being a sixteen year old girl in Africa.

It explains my de ja vu, familiarity with people whom I have just met, immediate understanding of humans, unreal bonds with humans, recurring dreams where in which I am a Native American. My profound attraction to certain colours, textures and sound. I am certain.

Closed, why a new members goes to a 5 year old post to answer is beyond me.
