That's why some men are girly and some girls are manly, because they were the opposite sex
in the previoue life. And that's why some are so afraid of water, some act like animals
and certain kids are musical prodigies.

So no, God didn't unfairly create a lucky infant that is a Mozart and another that is a retard.
New babies are old souls, they came to this world bearing the fruits of their past lives.

No Wheel of Fortune

There are no coincidences and luck doesn't exist, everything happens for a reason.
There's an untold story behind why a poor fellow got struck by lightning or
a lucky bastard won the lottory, no matter how seemingly random it might be,
and it has nothing to do with any God, it's karma from the past at work.

We were once a dog or a cat, a wolf or a sheep, or a racist who came back
as an oppressed minority to get a taste of his own medicine.

A rich man was once the giver, a victim was once a perpetrator.
You reap what you sow, whether in present life or the next ones.
Everything happens to you for a reason, it's not God's will, it's Karma.

While we all know the definition of virtue, but what most people don't realise
is that consuming meat or killing animals racks up your bad krama pretty quick,
because animals are sentient beings, people who think it's ok to eat meat because
dead animals won't seek revenge, are going to face a rude awakening
when they reincarnate as animals waiting to be eaten.

There's a common example/saying in Buddhism:

Man dies and becomes sheep, sheep dies and becomes man.

Meaning: The eater becomes the eaten, and the eaten becomes the eater.
The hunter became the hunted, when the table turned.

Killing forms a vicious circle, even if you just eat a hamburger,
you become part of the game, an accomplice in killing.

You can find a similiar saying in the Banned Gospel of Thomas: [link to www.earlychristianwritings.com]

[7]. Jesus says: "Blessed is the lion which a man eats so that the lion becomes a man.
But cursed is the man whom a lion eats so that the man becomes a lion"

Yes, contrary to what christians believe, the Bible meantions animals have souls..

Ecclesiastes 3:21 (ESV)
Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward
and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?

Proverbs 12:10 (ESV)
Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

First part of article from GLP

The spiritual realms are vast and complicated, dead people don't just
fall asleep like the Bible tells you. The spirits of the deceased sometimes
wondered around for a few days or even a few years before they went on
the next journey of reincarnation.

Speaking of afterlife, many including christians have testified
that they saw heaven or hell before coming back to life in NDEs.

Isn't it strange that even testimonies from christians often contradict
what they were led to believe, the Rapture and the Judgement day?

Why did they see people already suffering in Hell? Shouldn't dead people
just fall asleep waiting to be judged by God in the final days? And why did
they see people already rejoicing in Heaven before the Rapture ever happened?

What's going on and what does it mean?

It means that Heaven and Hell are real and are happening right now.
The judgement day is the day you die, you don't wait for the rapture to
ascend to heaven and you don't wait for the judgement day to be cast into hell.

Heaven and Hell have been around forever and they don't belong
to any religion and are impartial and fair to everyone. Your karma
decides where you go when you die. A good atheist will go to heaven
and a bad christian will go to hell, it's not Jesus' call, it's karma.

What is Karma? You reap what you sow, what goes around comes around.
Everything you do will eventually come back to haunt you, or reward you
in this life or the next ones.

Your next life will be in the six realms - Heaven, Asura, Human, Hungry ghost, Animal, Hell.

Worth noting that there are countless Heavens and Hells in the universe.
The Earth itself has 28 Heavens and all kinds of Hells, not just Burning Hell,
also Freezing Hell, Grinding Hell, Swords Hell, lonely Hell and many more.

So yea, some Hell does freeze over.

But even Heaven and Hell are not forever, they are not our final destinations. People still
come back from hell when the punishments for their sins are over, same with heaven.

It's called Samsara - the cycle of rebirth, death and reincarnation.

If you can't remember your infancy then you probably don't remember your past life,
but doesn't mean it didn't happen..

This is very interesting! Was raised Christian but kind of lost faith in scripture, that said I do believe in there is a divine being who created us, just not real sure what that looks like now.
