I believe that the belief in reincarnation is similar to the belief in an afterlife, in that both are understandable attempts to grasp to any immortality that can't be disproven.I accept that this is the one and only sentient time I get, and that after I die is exactly like before I was born.
Logical fallacy. If you can't disprove something then you can't claim to know that it isn't true. You can not believe in it, you can even claim to actively believe that it isn't true, but to claim to know that it isn't true crosses the line of logic. It's simply logically impossible to claim to know with 100% certainty that something that can't be disproven isn't true. 99.999% sure perhaps, but that last .001% is the difference between believing and knowing. So the four people who voted for the first option are wrong. Straight up. Option two is as far as you can go.
