Re: Does Atheist Believe In Reincarnation? by Nobody: 2:18pm On Sep 29, 2014
Some do.
Technically, Buddhists are atheists-- their religion doesn't have any god(s).
But they believe in reincarnation.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. According to science we contain energy. Therefore,there is a possibility that the energy propelling the human body will always exist.

John 9:1-3
1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

THINK about it for a second. Have that conversation in your head:

Another one:

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

Matthew 11:13-15
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

have u nt seen someone raised back to life before?
Re: Does Atheist Believe In Reincarnation? by EvilBrain1(m): 12:55am On Sep 30, 2014
There is no evidence of reincarnation, and no convincing philosophical argument for reincarnation therefore I don't believe in it.

I can't speak for other atheists, but this is what I believe: My consciousness is an emergent phenomenon from my complex organic brain. It cannot be seperated from it and cannot exist without it. If my brain gets damaged, my personality also gets damaged. If my brain is destroyed, my consciousness, my personality, my self also gets destroyed, never to return. There is no heaven for broken down computers, and no reincarnation either. I wish it wasn't so, but that is the reality and I have to face it.
