>I could confidently take the pros of your argument and refute them
That is not "presenting both sides of an argument," that is presenting one side of an argument. |

For example, my colleague, Joe, says that the world is flat. In defense of his theory, Joe states A, B, and C (it will help if you imagine that A, B, and C are consistent with current accepted science). Well my friends, Joe is not correct. On point A (disprove A), on point B (disprove B), and finally on point C (disprove C). This is Comp 101 Joe. |

I think "Tom" correctly assumed that everyone is by now completely familiar with the "ascension" theory, which is why he didnt bother rehashin it in his article.

Just how did you know that JP ? Now when I see you losing a debate like this I have to call it like it is. This board is better than instant replay. 15 yards JP back it up and replay the down or punt

I'm seriously amazed. Joe is actually using quote tags now.
Anywho, back onto the actual topic of this discussion, my thoughts of recincarnation are that no one will ever know what the truth is, neither Christian nor Pagan. We all have books, spiritual leaders, and other information sources, some having been around for thousands of years, describing the afterlife. The problem is many of them disagree. Personally, I'm a supporter of reincarnation. Writings like Tomoshibi's article, I think, are meant to boost the validity of a topic that goes widely misunderstood. In this case, he explained reincarnation so baseless supporters of the ascension theory would not be so quick to throw it out. It is meant to help the reader's opinion become one that is educated and not based on one-sided education. I wouldn't say the article "critisizes" the asension theory. It simply states the supporting facts (or as close to fact as you can get on this topic) and tries to debunk the opposing topic. Such writing styles are quite common.

No, ya could agree to it. Ya just wont. There's a difference.
