Here are my concluding thoughts:

I believe I have stated my case sufficiently to buttress my own argument. Yapa has stated his. A convincing argument is made not by running around in circles talking about the same thing but by the quality of the ideas presented and how logical and sound the reasoning process behind it is. In that spirit, I encourage the reader to read Yapa’s comments and mine carefully and come to their own conclusions.

I believe Christians believe in Rebirth
I also believe that they believe in Karma (Pali word meaning Action)

My reasons are given in my post below. Hope you have now got the time as I saw a post from you addressed to yapa yesterday.

Calling your attention to my post of February 5, 2010 @ 10:17 am, in response to yours of February 4, 2010 @ 11:28 pm

Aren’t you the same man who wrote sometime back that “God is dead”?
Thanks.

You believe you were created from the earth of the ground? Same way you can believe the truths of the same kind, I have no problem.

God! please protect this man, made of earth!

I have no way to stop you accepting whatever you want. Even you can call pen a pencil. You can call a lie a truth as well. I cannot stop fooling yourself with a prejudiced mind. Continue with your good work. I never wanted to answer you or your questions.

God bless you!

You deviate from the topic of the argument engaged in with “SomewhatDisgusted” ( “karma” and “reincarnation”). He refuted your views of a none-secular state would deprive equal rights and freedom of minorities. He proved Buddhist teachings must be accepted by faith same way with other religions. you are unwilling to accept the facts as they are vital blows to core Buddhism. Answer to your question is unrelated to me. I will not welcome personal questions.
Thanks.
