I don't think this was a slap at Brit. I think what he said was commendable. But, my guess is, it's all head knowledge, what he knows to be true, but, doesn't necessarily believe it in his heart. Until it gets to his heart, he will not change. I'm old enough to know, it's very difficult to change anything about yourself in any significant way. The only way I've ever changed in my life in a signifacant way, has been through my relationship with Jesus Christ.

And I've always had questions about reincarnation. This is what I understand about it. With reincarnation, you keep coming back until you get it right and are then absorbed into the Universe, correct? If this is true, then why is the population of the world increasing, instead of decreasing? The other thing that's always bothered me is karma. If you come back and have a hard life, it's because you were bad in your last life. If you come back rich, famous...ect. It's because you deserve it because you were good. I think with this line of thinking it would make you feel, like you deserve it, very ego boosting, your all that on a stick. And it would make you less likely to help anyone who's down and out, after all, they deserve it.

All life, not just human.

Wrong.
