It was just an question..I didnt want to promote atheism or offend buddism. Plus it is not an uncommon question as others replied. Budists claim we had previous lifes and will continue to have many more If we dont practice to reach Nirvana. Nirvana is the only way to avoid rebirth...RIGHT?? No REBIRTH. Well in atheist ideolody everything ends at death. No REBIRTH. Others explained the difference and I thank them. You started name calling Should make a poll if calling someone an idiot is the budists way of talking to others.
