I can agree with that, that this God was created as a concept. I have a hard time accepting that this God is better than or more pure than the living world around us. I find many of the beliefs surrounding the mystery of God - a bit out there. >_<</font>
I have issues with it the same way I have issues with the concept of sin. Sometimes, I think, why can't people just live their lives without thinking there is something mysteriously better than them, to rely on.
But, then again, I can also see how some people need a sort of foundation to stand on, a set of beliefs, that help them better organize their lives, however they need them to work out. Its what they stand on so they don't fall out of place. I have to remind myself, at times, that I don't see as they do, believe, or understand, what they put their faith in... and maybe they don't understand me either.
wait a minute, I'm totally off subject here, sorry J! I'll stop now, I forgot this thread was about reincarnation.
I've got such a bad habit to ramble off subject, on many different subjects image
