[QUOTE="partinobodycular, post: 77547150, member: 435281"] Well, when it comes to figuring out why people believe what they believe, I'm pretty much dumbfounded... I'm still trying to figure out why people voted for Trump, not just once, but twice!!!! Near as I can figure... I'm living in a computer simulation and the software designer either thought that it would be really, really funny... or he's doing this on the cheap, so he's reusing an old Nazi Germany subroutine. Either way I'm thinking that the future may not be as idyllic as I'd hoped it would be. But seriously, why people believe what they believe... I don't know. Perhaps they just look at the cyclicality of the earth, and of the heavens, and they assume that that's the way it must be. Because from the stars, to the seasons, to life itself... all around them, everything that dies is inevitably reborn. In such a world is it really that difficult to understand why people would believe in reincarnation? Now you and I know better, or at least we should. Then again, as it says in my favorite translation of a line from Cicero "[I]Dum spiro spero[/I]"... "[I]Hope dies last[/I]". Where there's hope, belief will inevitably follow. [/QUOTE]
