(Michael, there were a few groups you forgot to followup to, including
net.sport.afterlife and net.politics.reincarnation .  I have followed
up only to the original newsgroups in which this discussion took place.
Of course, feel free to re-expand the discussion if you honestly feel
some pressing need to do so.)

Point one:  the "lives" in line two above.  What connects them?  What
makes each succeeding life also "you"?  Charles implied more than once
that people are resurrected.  What connects or relates the lives in the
so-called "Charlie's line" above?  Nothing.  Then why do you call the
succeeding lives "your" lives?  If they are, there must be some connection
between your life and the succeeding lives?  What?

Oh.  Well, there goes Occam's Razor, we'll never be able to use it again
now that we know he was a Christian theologist.  (WOW!)  Christians are not
immune from coming up with great thoughts.  (Only the ones on the net.
ONLY KIDDING!!! :-)  And likewise they are not immune from that human
failing of not taking one's own advice.
