QUESTION: All this is very intellectually satisfying but I must admit that I am still a bit skeptical.
ANSWER: That’s okay. Buddhism is not the type of religion you have to sign up to and commit yourself to believe everything it teaches. ‘What is the point of forcing yourself to believe things you just can’t believe? You can still practice those things that you find helpful, accept those ideas that you understandable and benefit from them without believing in rebirth. How knows! In time you may come to see the truth of rebirth.
