A proven losing way

Whether the myth of reincarnation can help against the myth of islam you can learn by observing India. In my view, the answer is an obvious no. Islam has won big against India in history and it is still progressing.

Reincarnation is just another of those big lies pleasing big egos, who use it to confirm their own supposed big value, to give themselves a glorious past and thus an important present, and to separate them from "little" or "impure" or whatever people, who have to content themselves with some cult of resignation. The worst kind probably is the one cultivated in Tibet.

What works is freedom.
