Reincarnation?


In Social Studies, we have been talking about other world religions (Buddhism and Hinduism). Since they believe in reincarnation (and we obviously do not), I want you to put yourselves in their shoes. If you were to be reincarnated tomorrow, what would you come back as? You could be a human, animal, or a plant. You could be from the United States, Germany, Honduras, China, Russia, Kenya, or wherever you want. You could be of any nationality you choose. Just pick something to come back as and tell us why.

I don’t know what I really want on my tombstone, but I have a few ideas. My first one is, your time will come to, so don’t stand here mourning over me, go out and have fun with your life. I made that up. My next one is, life is short and you should spend the time that you have on earth with your family. My next one is, this is going to be you in a few months, years, or decades, so spend the time you have left wisely. Those are some things I would want to put on my tombstone.

I would want to come back as a NBA superstar from America. I would hope I could make alot of money so I could help people with celiec
disease like my brother. I would also hope I could get my own mansion to live in. It would have a basketball court in it and I would have a huge theater inside my house so I could watch sporting events on a huge 276 in ch flat screen telivision. It also would be amazing to just walk in and see the crowd going wild cheering for you. I love when there is fans cheering for me at a First Immanuel game and at a NBA game it is 1,000 times louder.

I don't really know what I'd want to be. Maybe I’d be a missionary. I’d try to teach as many people as I can about God. I’d go with a huge group of people to places that don’t know the slightest bit about Christ. I’d try to find cures for different diseases that many people die from. For example, I’d want to find a cure for aids. I’d translate bibles into the language that the people I am ministering read in. I’d learn as many different languages I can so I can teach them without needing an interpreter. So that’s what I would want to do in my “next life”.

If I were going to be reincarnated I would want to come back as someone whose is really rich. Then I could be able to help the people who are poor or hurt. I would tell people all over the world about the loving Lord. I think being rich isn't all about be famous or having everything you want it is about helping people who are not as rich or are in need. Now I know what they mean when they get reincarnated. It means they can live an even better life than they already have or a different life.

I would like to be reincarnated as a famous gymnast who wins the U.S.A national championship award. I would like to be a famous gymnast because it’s what I’ve always dreamed to be a famous gymnast but I know we don’t have enough money to even let me be on team at North Shore. Even though I would like to be reincarnated as a famous gymnast I would like to be like I am now flexible and able to do stuff that other gymnasts can do. I would also like to be like the famous gymnast that’s in the book I am reading for our book report. She is such a good gymnast I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do what she can do.

I would want to come back as a colts cheerleader because I love to cheer and I like to talk to the other friends that I have met this past year on the squad besides Courtney. If I could not come back as a cheerleader I would come back as a normal average two year old. I would come bake as a two year old because then I could start my life out fresh and fix all the most awful mistakes that I have made during my life time. Or if not a two year old i would come back as a famous singer that is known world wide.

I would like to come back as a pure breed cat like a Siamese. I would like to be owned by a wealthy family. If I was a pure breed cat and owned by a millionaire I would be spoiled and live a pampered life. I would be able do what I wanted to all the time. If I couldn’t be owned by a wealthy family I would like to be owned by my Uncle Don and Aunt Cindy. Uncle Don and Aunt Cindy have two cats. Those two cats run the house. Uncle Don buys them special food and plays with them. It would be a great life. That is why if reincarnation existed I would want to be a cat.

I would come back as a Jumbo Jet Airliner. The reason is, because I would enjoy carrying around lots of people in a plane all day and swinging my nose threw a hold bunch of clouds. And if loosed gas I would filled up again right away and be refreshed and not have to sleep or anything like that and then i could just be on my way again. And when I die being an airplane I would just nose crash into the Pacific Ocean and lie at the bottom of the ocean and find enlightenment with the fishies and tell the fishies all about my adventures.

Well if I were reincarnated I would come back as a computer. Because I think it would be fun downloading things. Also because it seems cool to be able to show video game to people. Another reason is because it is a very easy life and you do not even move. Other people take special care of you and you get a lot of usage. You always will be fresh and ready because you are electronic. I think it would be fun to be a computer.

I think it would be cool to be reincarnated as a hawk, because you can see everything from the clouds. You can also fly and soar through the air. It would be fun to be able to fly from one place to another, instead of having to walk, run, or swim. You could look down below and watch God’s creation. Kids would be playing outside, cars would be moving along the road one after another, and you could see everything from a bird’s eye view. Hawks barely have ANY predators, so you wouldn’t really feel like anything is after you. You could always have an easy meal by flying over to a meadow or a field and searching for something to eat. I think I’m OK staying as a human for right now, though!

Um...I really dont know, like you said, we dont believe in reincarnation...so I havent thought of anything that Id like to be. Id like to still be alot o things. A cat would be cool, because you can be lazy, and you just bask in the sun all day. Id also like to be a famous doctor (Gee, thats a shocker! :-) ) that cures cancer. Another thing Id love to be would be a bird. Soaring over the clouds, looking down at all the "ant" people. These are some things Id like to be if I really believed in reincarnation. For now Ill just dream thats what I am!

Let's see... I think I'd want to come back as the Princess of England. It would be fun having servants and getting what ever I want, when I want it! That would be so awesome having my mom and dad would be the rulers of the whole country! People would respect me and my family because we are the royal family. Another thing I would want to come back as would be a movie star. I would be a movie star in Disney Channel movies and when I get older I will be in huge awesome productions. After my acting career is over I would have my own talk show. Then I would die and people would still be morning my death even when I come back as a new reincarnation that's how famous I would be! If I didn’t come back as a human I would want to come back as either a dog or a turtle. I would want to be a dog because I could just lie around and do cool tricks and get yummy treats. Also I would play fetch and make my owner happy! I would want to be a turtle because some of them are HUGE and can live for almost 200 years! That would be so cool to live to be that old. I think living in the ocean would be fun!

I would like to come back in the U.S.A. I really like it here. I would want to come back as a human and be born into a rich family where my mom would be a singer and my dad a famous actor. Then we could live in a huge Minchin. But I would still want to have as good of friends as Becca, Rachel, Haley, Jenna, Laine and Karlee. I would still want a loving mom and dad who cared and not fed up with work all the time. So that is what I really want to be and have if I was reincarnated.

If I were reincarnated I would want to come back as a famous long distance runner. I think it would be awesome to be a famous runner because I love to run. If I would be reincarnated as runner I would hope to break some of the worlds top records. I would also like to make it to the Olympics and compete against the world’s greatest runners. If I came back as a runner I would want to have a lot of money to so I could buy good running shoes and so I could help out the poor and sick whenever they need it. I think it would also be cool to come back as a shark because I do like the water and it would be cool to be in the water all day, everyday.

I would like to be a t-rex because they are the most feared dinos ever. They also have a huge mouth that can eat fifty pounds in one bite. I would be very big which would be a change for me. I would be able to eat the people I do not like. The disadvantages would be I would have a tiny brain. I would have a big head. I would have tiny arms. Another thing is that I would be extinct and that would stink. I'm a carnivor and that means I could only eat meat. Also when Im stalking I would be too big to stay hidden. I do not beleve in reincarnation but if I did thats what I want to come back as

I think I would want to come back as a rookie Red Sox player. I wouldn't even have to go through the minors.I would want to come back this year because the Red Sox organization has gotten a ton of new players. I would want to be a second baseman and batting first in the lineup. I also hope that I would be the highest paid rookie. I would live in a mansion and have a rec-room for my family and I to hang out in. eventually I would want to go to the hall of fame but hopefully I would make it there before I die and get reincarnated again.

I would like to come back as a rookie running back. I could make millions of dollars. I would like to help children with medical problems so it would make their lives a little bit easier. That would make me very happy to know that I could help and to let them know I care about them. Next I would buy a big house that would be filled with all kinds of sports that I enjoy. I would buy alot of land so I could hunt when ever I wanted to.

I would like to be reincarnated as a snake or lizard. I would because they are my favorite animals by a long shot. They are covered in scales that are all shiny and smooth. They have fangs to rip apart your enemies with. They are smaller than us (usually) and are able to do things us humans can’t, like slither or crawl into holes that are full of mysterious thing like skeletons and treasure covered with blood. Snakes can sense heat with their tongue and lizards are stronger than snakes. In my opinion, snakes and lizards are way better than humans.

If I were rencarnated I would be a star softball player. I would make a lot of money. My position would be a star pitcher and a great 1st basemen. I could also steal lots of bases when on the basepaths. I would also be a very good batter, I would lead the leage on RBIs. The crowd would be going nuts to see me because I would be the best female softball player. This would be great because I could travel to all different tropical places like Hawaii where I could get a nice tan. I could travel pretty much everywhere. That is what I would be.

I'd like to be reincarnated as a famous athlete. I would like to be a famous Athlete because playing sports is fun. But if I were to be a reincarnation of a famous athlete it would probably have to be of a basketball player because basketball is m favorite sport. Just being on the court hearing fans cheer you on would just be so cool. This would probably be the best thing that I think that I could be reincarnated as. Other than being a famous basketball player I would like to be a famous baseball player. This is what I’d like to be reincarnated as.
