Curtis, Joerg's sanctimonious tone is certainly irritating but comparing him to the Mumbai terrorists is a little harsh. He claims his subjective experience forms his belief about past lives and something he reads verifies it. The Mumbai terrorists read something from the Koran and it forms a belief but they do not base their belief on subjective experience. Apples and Oranges. Riddle: If we wonder what it is like to be dead. What do dead people wonder? Answer: What is it like to be alive? No one is ever satisfied. Desire for more keeps the wheel turning. Just saying.
