If we're going to get to go to heaven and watch down on people we care about...we should at least have the ability to come back down is some cool angel or something like in "It's a Wonderful Life" and tell them what a %*$^their being and they need to snap out of it. Otherwise, whats the point?
Reincarnation makes the most sense. If you're cool in one life, you get to be Tom Cruise in the next life. But if you're a *-hole...you get to be a snail. It's just nice to think when things go right, that I must be getting rewarded for being cool in a past life...and when things go crappy...I can think, "Well...at least I know I had some fun in the past life!" It also helps me not feel bad for people...like this one scary looking girl in the league I sub in...because when I see her I think, "Well....she was probably like Elle McPherson beautiful in her past life....so, thats how it goes." And why be jealous of Oprah...in her past life she was probably like some kind of dung beetle or something?
See, that way of thinking helps explain away the inequities of life. If there is no reincarnation...and it's a one shot deal...then anyone that gets born in like, the Sudan....thats just a **** poor piece of bad luck there. I mean, thats why I believe in a progressive tax system and a more populist style of government...because no matter what a butt-tard George W is; he got born into the Bush family and has always had money, privaledge, nannies, butlers, etc... How can he say he deserves to keep more of "his money" than a guy that has a job at the car wash....never made much of himself...but has the excuse that he got born into a single-mom family...his dad was in jail, and his mom had poor judgement and a boyfriend heavy into meth?? If we're going to have a flat tax...then everyone from birth gets the same stuff...and those that screw it up...gutter. Those that make something of themselves...bonus. Instead, people always want to point to that "one guy" that was born in a public restroom and went on to run a fortune 500 company...while dismissing the 7,000 other kids born in public restrooms that had the average life expectancy of a fruit fly and a 42% incarceration rate.
