This survey, if correct, confirms my strong suspicion that most American (Western?) Christians are not only biblically illiterate but also are unaware of even basic Christian doctrine. When over 2 in 10 people who say they are "Christian" also say they believe they will be reincarnated again and again...I don't even know what to say!Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Christian Hindus...or?

I heard something like this a long time ago. (sigh). Personally, we even really misrepresent Hindu doctrine. We think being reincarnated is a good thing. But the idea is, when you get it (life) right, you stop being reincarnated.
Wow, I don't get it either.
I wanna know where they got their hard data on reincarnation??? I missed that. Darn.
When I did my guest lecture on Mormon feminism I found at least a third of the (Catholic) students held Mormon views on the preexistence of souls, and were sure the pope did too....It is a rather logical consequence of the concept of the immmortal soul as one of them pointed out!
