To those who doesn't know what reincarnation means, i will explain it here first. Reincarnation is the belief that when one dies, one's body decomposes, but something of oneself is reborn in another body. It is the belief that one has lived before and will live again in another body after death. The bodies one passes in and out of need not be human. One may have been a dog in a past life, and one may be a mice or a rabbit in the future life. Some tribes avoid eating certain animals because they believe that the souls of their ancestors dwell in those animals. So do you believe in reincarnation or not? If you believe in reincarnation, in your next life what do you want to be and why?

I surely believe in reincarnation, but its not like what we dream of being in our next birth, we will be born like that.. Its never like that.. We should try to live in our present, the life we are living right now, rather than thinking of our next birth.. It all depends on ur destiny and fate whether u would be reborn as a human or as some other life form... Try making ur present perfect, rest will follow...

you have a point lifeless, we should make the best of our present life now. I think about reincarnation as being given a second chance to live again and make good use of ourlife and i think the decision depends on God if he'll give us another chance to live on earth again. I'm not sure about it but i just guess that's how we get reincarnated.

I'm open minded because I'm not exactly sure on the subject. I'm a Christian and I do believe that our souls either go to Heaven or we go to Hell but then there have been stories of people remembering things that happened way before their time to complete accuracy that it does make me wonder "what the heck is going on?" Just as people who say they've been abducted by aliens. Who am I to say that isn't true? I can't discount anybody's accounts when I didn't experience them myself so I aim to be open minded til there is proof of it either way.

I do kind of believe it, I just don't know if I believe that when we die we go to heaven or hell and that's it. It's kind of hard to know or whether to believe or not.

I believe that it could be possible. If a person truly feels like they need to be on Earth, they will stay on this planet.

It is totally rubbish. I can't agree on re-incarnation as it does not have logic at all. Humans and animals are two different species and they can't be linked at all. Ofcourse I believe in resurrection when we have to stand before the almighty god to be judged for what we have done during our life and it seems there is some logic.

I believe in a sort-of reincarnation. I don't think that people go directly from one life to the next, nor do I believe that everyone is reincarnated. I think that people die, go into the spirit world, and then have choices about what to do next. Some people choose to take various paths in the spirit worlds, while others choose to come back to earth (reincarnate). In my next life... I want to be someone who is healthy, who comes from a nice family, who has a good start to life. I know that sounds cheesy, but those are the things I didn't get in this life, so of course I want them next time.

I beleive that when I die, my body decomposes but my spirit goes back to God..nothing else. It is what the bible tells us, as our dear friend mooch stated above. I don't wanna be a rabbit or mice or any kind of animals..:)

nope, sure don't believe in reincarnation, though I do believe in the immortality of the spiritual soul, and I also firmly believe in THE Resurrection of the body and life everlasting. What I would like to be after I die (and actually I would like to achieve it way before I die) is a Saint.

Me, until there is no prove that it happens or any investigation in regards with this it will be very difficult for me to believe. Is there any investigation about reincarnation?

Yes,I think re-incarnations are there.I even have heard of cases of people who recall experiences of their earlier lives.

No way. I think reincarnation is a stupid theory, can't be true...
