OK ... Tommy .... slow down and rewrite that whole post. You are not making any sense at all to me here. I realize that I would not understand it at all if you stated it in your native tongue, but honestly, I know your English is better than that.

There are many things that people have faith in that have nothing to do with religion. For example, I have faith that the Sun will come up tomorrow. I can't know it for a certainty until it happens, but I believe it to be true, my reasons for believing it are based on prior experience.

I happen to believe in reincarnation for much the same reasons, prior experience (having seen snatches of other lives ... and no, not everyone was Cleopatra in a prior lifetime, some of us were nobody in particular) and experiences of others (including scientific study). Those are my "reasons."

I understood you to say that you thought Buddhism was something other than a philosophy because "they" believed in "rebirth" without "reason." Please, tell me how I misunderstood your post, and please, take your time so I won't misunderstand the next one.
