But to challege someone's perspective, your opting to try to change it. That is IMPOSSIBLE.
You are no sooner going to believe that we're all here to learn something on this planet and move onto another life as in my spiritual belief system than I'm going to believe that God has a plan and is just pulling strings, "fate" as others have been stating on here.
In the end, we believe what we "feel" is right. beliefs aren't centered in rational thought or we'd all need proof, they are centered in what we feel deep down is correct to us, you cannot challenge a gut feeling.
There is no debating. No one is really having a debate here, they are just jockeying to get their personal belief system to the top and have everyone agree.
I have learned, that once a spiritual belief is ingrained in someone as an adult, there is no changing it.
