What if i'm not reborn as a Buddhist in my next life?

What you do now at present will reflect your next life.
If ones do lots of evil deeds, hurt pple, curse pple, etc...one's next life will be gana cure by pple, gana flame, poor and will be kick here and there by the pple.
If ones do lots of good deeds, offer prayers, one's next life will be very good.

One will not believe in devils, ghosts and demons till you encounter one. Some are so stubborn that even they encounter ghost but still deny their existence.
One of my family member saw an indian soldier possessed by a Taiwanese ghost when he was training at one of the cemetry. The indian soldier spoke in mandarin when he was possessed (he does not know how to speak mandarin). He told me the story but told me even then he does not believe in ghost. Weird right ? He saw it himself and yet still wanted to deny.

I hope I have no more next life. I am lucky to know the law of karma in this life, what happens if I do not know about karma in my next life? Meaning the life after next will be like hell again.I think I had done many good deeds in my past life because in this life, I live comfortably.

I always think when I died, my dad will be waiting for me, hold my hand, hug me and bring me to another world.
I know pple over here will say me is stupid to have this idea.
But, I sincerely wish that will happen when I died.

In a way, you are right. I do offerings and puja religiously.
However, I investigated Buddhism for more than twenty years before deciding take the Three Refuges. Buddhism do not advocate blind faith.
It is blind faith because it involves more esoteric belief than anything else. -

I think you didn't read my post. Rebirth is scientifically proven. -

I suggest you base on science to let you make every decision in your life, eat science, talk science, shit science, think science, die science, crap science.Go create your own religion base on Science only lor. Worship science, and if you are demon possessed go ask science to help you get the demon out of your body!
Please widen your scope, not everything in life is about science. mo ming qi miao!

Encounter ghost and yet deny its existence? Then good luck to the person, let him or her let the ghost plays with him or her. -

While religions might not advocate blind following, some leaders often demand blind faith and often people follow these leaders for certain reasons.
But I have to say one of the good points of Buddhism is that it teaches one to accept death not like some of the other religions.

Scientific proof of rebirth is actually published in well known scientific journals, and the scientist would be delusional to reject it. In fact I don't think scientists would reject it unless they have some non-Buddhist religious dogmas they follow. Some scientists just don't care because they haven't read about the journals or aren't interested. -

Are you a scientist? Like I said in my post here, go create a religion base on Science.Go eat science, shit science, breathe science, think science, crap science. Let science cast the demon out of you if one day you are possessed.
Don't troll here.

there is also absolutely no evidence that the body has some form of spirit, since emotions, favourites, and decisions are all caused by the chemicals in the mind. There is no such thing as a spirit in the body. It is just man's answer as to where the person will go after they die since they don't know what happens after they die

In buddhism, there is no spirit/soul. -

And have you even read arguments and probabilities as to what causes people to think they have a past life before posting this?

However, there is a process of consciousness that continues from lifetime to lifetime. This consciousness is not a soul because it is not an independent or permanent entity, but arises moment to moment due to latent conditions. -

I do not what you mean by esoteric belief, what aspect and how would you, assume, or know it is blind faith? Can you give me something more substantial to work with?! -

Although I do hold have some theories that some recollection of the memories of past lives may not be in accordance common beliefs. However, since you hold such a strong stand, the onus is with you to disprove reincarnation do not occur !
Something for you to ruminate! :-
