Reincarnation : A Critical Examination , by Paul

What amazes me about such people is their smug dogmatism and their colossal arrogance. They "know," and are completely certain of things that cannot be known, and their "knowledge" is not harmless because it is made the basis for vicious conduct. To such fanatics one can only quote the words (suitably adjusted) of Oliver Cromwell in a letter he wrote to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland: "I beseech you, in the bowels of Gautama, think it possible you may be mistaken." (p. 46)
