do the worst shit imaginable?
Mediation, prayer, fasting, reading sacred scripture, following sacred scripture, etc.
Reincarnation is a gift not a trap.

literally running away from nothing.
I don't like the idea but there's something worse. Actually reliving your past live all over again. Without any memories. I immediately think about all the bad stuff that happened to me and to think that I can experience this again, even without memories, is horrible.

Finding a way to escape endless reincarnation is the entire point of Buddhism. Just look that shit up.

Life is amazing. I'm sorry you would rather waste it sitting on your butt all day trying not to think about anything, realizing that you really can't, only to have your guru say to you that it's not the goal that matters, it's the path, but hey, at least you're not outside having fun like the unenlightened rabble right? All the while your guru is scoring tons of gullible western chicks on the side when you're not looking. Sucks being a cuck, I guess. Meditate so that on your next incarnation you're not a born loser.

Not him, but why do you consider life to be slavery?

Karma is spiritual usury. The only way you can rid yourself of this awful spiritual debt is by asking Jesus to take on the debt in your stead, which is what he died doing after all. Only after acknowledging that you have sinned and that Jesus died to absolve you of your sins can you transfer them to Jesus.

A Christian Asatru syncretist? That's a new one. Props having an original thought and being needlessly divisive.

A slave to whom? I have what the billions of dead envy, and if i can take the whole cake from the banquet i'm sure as shit going to do it.
just stop being my dude

>"billions" of dead envy some random loser on 4chan.
"billions" might be a stretch but some of the dead might envy you if they got to know you. Not for reasons you think they would envy you, however.
Then again if the dead in question have transcended the reincarnation cycle they certainly do not envy you.

What is the difference between reincarnation existing and it not existing if nobody remember any of their other lives?
The whole thought is 100% irrelevant
Don't believe in spooks, thats how

From a molecular point of view it's true, whatever you are will decompose and eventually be further broken down and reused by other organisms, be it flora or fauna or both.
Also from this pount of view, you, I and everone else alive today are made of the particles of the deceases. If there is such a thing as a soul or immutable sense of identity, we are all someone else's leftovers. Millions of tiny (You)'s are part of me. It's a very spoopy thought.

your corpse will eventually disintegrate and the remaining molecules will be spread across the cosmos and be absorbed by life on other planets, and you will be reborn with many lives; this is how cats are created
