lol thats assuming the lifetimes were sequential and time is linear  ------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate? when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history IP: Logged |

It would be sequential by the numbers, not simply one life, one person.
Also if the theory of non-linear time has any validity, then linear still would exist depending on other factors.

Time is an illusion, but the illusion is linear for the purpose of the discussion referenced above. ------------------

i guess, though, it does kinda make sense, but i'v gotten so used to the idea that time isnt linear and that our souls can "travel through time" and reincarnate in any time ------------------
