You have assumed I have only existed for this lifetime, and have as poor a memory as you.
I'm assuming you are telling a rational narrative of your experiences. I grant you, it's a shaky assumption in this thread, but a certain level of rationality is a prerequisite to communication.
Your description of your experience is that you were raised to believe in god until 13 or 14, when you decided there wasn't a god. Then, more than 20 years later, you changed your mind.
In response to a couple of questions of mine, your rather cryptic answers suggest that you believe had experience outside this universe and have memories outside this lifetime. These are tentative conclusions I've come to from your cryptic responses and may well be in error.
Assuming that my conclusions are accurate, your narrative suggests that for a couple of decades when you didn't believe in god, you didn't have memories of your other lifetime. Curiouser and curiouser.
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
