Then we're screwed presumably- unless there's a way we can 'make up' for having killed ourselves multiple times in previous lifetimes.
Depends on your religion I guess. If you believe in all that- try and find out what you need to achieve to end the cycle. Is it Budhism? Become a strict Budhist I guess. Start praying for forgiveness for stuff you don't even remember doing in a previous life!
The way I see it is- I don't remember previous lives. Maybe that's correct though. Maybe an earlier incarnation of 'me' decided to 'off' themselves and 'we' have been punished ever since. What made 'me' want to kill myself to begin with though? What made that initial act so 'wrong' that 'we' have been made to suffer ever since?
I don't know- so many religions seem perverse to me. Like- you are supposed to meekly accept suffering and not fight back- because it's the will of God or something. Even if it's the will of Satan- God is presumably stronger. Why does he/she/it let it continue?!! To prove your loyalty/ obediance/ gullability (sorry!) to God? Why?
Imagine if me or you started a club where our followers had to endure excruciatingly painful rituals and they couldn't question why and they couldn't object or fight back- or else, we'd punish them for eternity. We'd be labelled a sadistic psychopath! How come God gets away with it and some people even love them for it?!! WHY does God love the meek? Surely he/she/it designed us to question. They must have KNOWN we'd end up like this- they're God- they know everything right? I just can't see it as anything but some sadistic game but if it's real- then, we have no choice but to take part I guess. That's why I'd really love to be an out and out aetheist. If there is a God, I think we're screwed.
