I'm an atheist, and I don't believe that anyone can be born into heaven or hell.

"I'm an agnostic who believes in reincarnation"
Is there a difference between that and being an Atheist?

There's no such thing as a "born again christian", you just believe in Jesus then you're a Christian. The whole "born again" thing is complete bs.

I agree. And I never said that it wasn't bs.
I was asking if there was a difference between an Agnostics belief in reincarnation and Atheists beliefs.
Because I am neither.

You are not born into either Heaven or Hell, but if you do something good while you are alive you will get to heaven when you die, and vice versa for hell.

Oh, so you're saying that you believe in reincarnation, but you don't believe in any sort of god? So basically you're agnostic but you also believe in reincarnation?

That's how I see it too. But I'm still confused by this "born again" stuff.

Yes, but the thing is that most people who say they're born again aren't even Christian, and are just trying to become better people (which is a good thing)

@Trench
No. I am an Agnostic who believes in Reincarnation. There is no god, and I believe that there is no such thing as life after death. And I am not Atheist because I have some beliefs in things that can't be proven.

I was raised Catholic, but I don't believe in God anymore, which makes me an agnostic atheist.

I feel like that's what I am, except for the Atheism part.
I was raised Methodist, but I don't believe in any religion.

Basically it means you start going to church and reading your bible. If you were raised catholic, it means you've stopped worshipping the devil and started worshipping Jesus. It doesn't mean you're born again in the literal sense.

Yeah, basically it just means you stop worshipping Satan and start worshiping Jesus (which is a good thing), but people who say they're born again aren't even Christians most of the time.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I guess my parents should have made sure to explain things like that to me when I was younger.
