The couple preached that one's soul progresses through a series of earthly incarnations. His past lives were said to have included Aesop, Lancelot and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hers included Nefertiti, Queen Guinevere of Camelot and Marie Antoinette.

How, exactly, does one acquire the soul of a fictional character?

She was pretty hot, wonder if she has a sex tape.

Also, why do people claim that they were famous people in the past? I don't, because I know I was one poor shlub after another. Just like Albert Brooks, in one of my former lives, I was lunch.

Wow. Over in one. Aarontology pretty much summed it up.

I wondered the same thing about Bush's acquisition of the soul of Don Quixote.

That, and it seems every damn person I've ever heard of that believes this claims one of the main Arthurian figures as a past life.

"I was Arthur Pendragon;" Yeah, sure, you and 30,000 other D&D-playing nerds or vampire wannabes.

I'm just wondering why these people who have past lives always discover that they were Julius Caesar and not the mute stablehand who was whipped to death one afternoon because his owner was in a bad mood.

It's like those "What is your Animal Spirit Totem?" quizzes... everyone gets a wolf or an eagle; no one ever gets a naked mole rat.

Since Prophet fell ill, at least 15 people have stepped forward claiming to be the next messenger, said Neroli Duffy, who sits on the church's 24-member council of elders. None has met with council approval.

I am the Prophet.

Goshdurned it. Over before I could say "The same thing that happened to all the ex-nazis at the end of WWII."

Ashtrey: Ask Tender Branson.

That book was shiat.

They need a new leader and I am a legally ordained minister (over the internet).

Hmmmmmm

I think I am starting to channel the Prophet's spirit.

If they send me enough money I'll tell them what she told me.

Tillmaster: Legendary isn't necessarily the same as fictional, puckrock.

yeah but here the difference:

King Arthur: legendary but historical figure. All sorts of stories have been bolted to his legacy, but historians agree he really did exist and did kick some Saxon ass.

Lancelot: Very clearly an invention of the wandering bards who were invited to the court of Eleanor of Acquitane, and who felt the need to add in a French hero, and a doomed romance to the Arthur Cycle to fit the fashion of her court (the Book of Courtly Love, was being written about the same time)

So can I say that I am an incarnation of Robin Hood?

They choose a Caliph.

And why is it that these whackos were never incarnated into scullery maids or shoeshine boys? It's always famous and exotic "characters".

a happy ending? (granted not as happy as if ALL of those whackjobs took themselves out of the genepool...) but maybe the rest will get a clue moran.

I'm thinking it has to do with the fact that you can much more easily "remember" a past life for which there is ample historical documentation, rather than one known only to some grad student excavating grid-19-c of Pompeii. Every time I see one of those "past life regression" things on, I yell at the TV "okay then ask them what they had for lunch and what they are wearing"

If a layman could get either of those details right I might start to believe.

Unfortunately not, I did too.

same concept that's been around for military history. Take out the leaders, the army won't have any solid leadership and will fall apart.

Yeah, the whole Courtly Love thing was basically an invention of the High Middle Ages from the late 12th century on. Prior to then, young women, even high-ranking ones, were seen by most of the upper class men- who were more or less Hells Angel's types with horses instead of Harleys- as something you did to pass the time between fights.

Was this the group that was at the center of controversy for diverting water sources in Yellowstone or something?

I think I remember reading an article about it by Tim Cahill.

In a previous life I was a peasant girl on the Salisbury plain by the River Avon who was routinely raped by the local magistrate before dying at the age of 13 during the third wave of the Plague.

The grip she held over her followers first began to loosen after her doomsday predictions went unrealized in 1990.

Ugh. NEVER DECLARE A DATE!

Damn amateurs. How do they think the Christ cult has lasted so long? They wrote down that only their deranged father figure knew when he was going to destroy humanity for no apparent reason. You can string them along for eternity that way.

This is why I'm taking all my followers with me.
