Don't make a thread questioning people's religious beliefs?

so gave this a little more thought and think it would be nifty if reincarnation operated in a non-linear fashion. See, I've long alconsidered the universe be something of an extensive database full of frames of reality. That is, for every possible outcome at every moment in time, there exists a frame.

What we experience as time is the passage of our conciousness passing from one frame to the next with our path determined by a combination of our consciousness, everyone else's and the universal randomness coefficient for all real systems.

It would be interesting if upon death our soul/essence/consciousness/whatever could pass not only to people yet to be born, but backwards in time to those who have already existed since in a frame from what we perceive as the past is really no different from one we perceive as the future ^^

Not only did I lose faith that this convo would be productive I don't wanna spend 3 hours typing it up because I have to explain stuff, a lot of it unconventional views but I guess I'll say this, I come from a Christian tradition -- but I don't think the bible is the literal word of God. If it is, I'd like to know which version. I use the NRSV, but I also keep a KJV because it was the one I was raised with.

The reason I don't think it's the literal word is because we have free will, not unlimited free will (we are restricted by physics, our bodies, the time we're born into etc.) but free will very similar to the free will you have in EverQuest. You can do whatever you want, but only within certain bounds. With that free will comes the ability to interpret and write whatever the fuck you want WRT to God.
