Apparently, you don't understand how a man can sin before being born, unless he lived before. Let me guess.... You are one of those Christians who think Ouija boards and seances are the work of the devil, but stand around in a prayer circle holding hands, invoking a bloody Jesus Christ to save you from your ignorance and shortcomings?

It is my belief that it is no coincidence that at the heart of all the major religions and even many of the less well known religions there is the concept that we are all connected to one another, to the planet and to what the native people call the great spirit. Unfortunately to a great extent I think that the forest has been lost in the trees - dogma, cultural overlay, ego and corruption.
I like your conclusions about the nature of Christ - it's actually more similar to earlier Christian concepts of Christ which were rejected by the Church. Why? I think because the notion that anything remotely divine about our existence would have diminished the power of the Church.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Not googling other than to copy the text of John 9:1–5. However, please show where the Church indicates that people are born with infirmities because of sin, when John 9:1–5 specifically indicates otherwise. You can't be arguing that the vicissitudes of birth defects have nothing to do with God, so therefore they are born that way for a reason. God's plan. Please explain.

Reincarnation is very different from resurrection. The typical belief in reincarnation is that your soul is eternal and will go through several lives in an effort to prefect yourself and become closer to god. You are not consciously aware of your past lives. In a rough nut shell.
Resurrection is a dead person coming back to life. As the same person, with the same memories, etc.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

That's nice. You have this habit of quoting a member and responding to something or someone else. You don't accept Christian dogma? OK shrug. lol
Reincarnation is not a Christian concept and never was. As long as we're clear on that I guess we're done. As for your superficial spirituality I won't bother to follow up. Apparently, it means about as much to you as it does to me. Hey, sorry if that translates to "pissy". I'm just being honest.
