I haven't made up my mind about reincarnation; in my religion, there are some references to people being reborn, but there's also references to people =not= being reborn. So I'll put it down as a possibility.
Me, though, I'm more interested in the =why= of reincarnation. Are we supposed to come back life after life until we've gotten off the Wheel, as is proposed in Buddhism? To evolve spiritually?
Or maybe we reincarnate -- using reincarnation as a given, here -- because, well... that's what we do. No higher purpose than that. Just get born, live, die, get born, live, die.
I've met some people who find that idea terrifying, for some reason.
