Reba McEntire Reincarnated?

Although Reba McEntire fears that fellow Christians might criticize her for it, the singer says she believe she's been reincarnated.

"I believe I've gone both ways -- that I have been here before as a man," the 53-year-old (in this life, anyway) tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I believe I have spent time with my son Shelby before. I believe I have spent time with other people in my life before. Who knows? Maybe I'm part Buddhist."

As for reconciling her Christian faith with her belief in reincarnation, McEntire says, "I'm sorry, but this is how I live my life, this is what I believe."

In the same candid and often humorous interview, the country legend confesses her love for buying toilet paper in bulk at Costco.

"Why not buy 150 rolls of toilet paper at one time? I eventually use them up," she says with a laugh.

She also dishes on whether she'd rather star in a film about Britney Spears or Paris Hilton.

"Britney!" she exclaims. "She came up working in the music business, was a huge success, then something went wrong and now she's on a downside. Poor thing. What happened to her is very interesting to me. Paris? She acquired her fame through being, I guess, a rich socialite. She didn't earn it, so she doesn't interest me."

McEntire also reveals that the silliest thing she's done lately is karaoke-ing with Kelly Clarkson.

"She's half my age, but we have a blast together ..."

ya know , whether you admit it or not, any of you that get on here saying that you are christians and gudge anyone are not christians at all! all you do is attack every one that doesent see things your way, and judge them and call them every name in the world and condemm them to hell becouse thay say somthing you dont understand! you are so evil you try to pass yourselfs of as christians and at the same time you accuse and condemm! you are what has turned the world away from christ and sent them lost out into the world. if you had a clue how stupid you are for setting up on your fake throne passing judgment on others,you might have a chance of seeing heaven. but like jesus said (argue not with a fool, for he is wise in his oun conceit) I agree totally and refuse to argue with you fake christians i.e.= (antichrist) and remember satin can quote the bible way better than you,becouse he was there when it was written and he uses it daily to accuse others just like you are doing! good job,you are as your father the devil and im sure he is so proud of you for it!you are on the wrong team =try jesus and remember what he said to the whore at the well= where are thy accusers? and she said there are none for thay have all gone,and he said(knowing what she was and knowing he was the true judge) neather do I accuse you , go and sin no more! so bake off the selfrightious judging of others you fake christians and give a hand instead of pointing a finger! AND THATS ALL i GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT!

It absolutly is. If it wasnt, then why did my xbest friend, a born-again Thumper for Christ, tell her now husband and father to her illigetimate child, that his best friends, who were Lutheran and Jewish, were going to hell, and couldnt understand why he was friends with someone who was condemned to hell? She was the first one to try to turn you over, while living a lie herself. Got knocked up after knowing him for 3 weeks, and only got married so her bible-raised family MIGHT talk to her hypricitical ass again. She also condemned Me to hell for living with my now husband prior to marriage and having premarital sex. She was the Last person to be judging me, especially since I know too much about her past, and apparently, current life. I'm told im going to hell for beleiving something other than what that speaker for your man-made religion dictates me to believe. I used to sit there at church and watch the SAME people who cursed and spoke poorly about someone who smoked or drinked, living a life of sin, show up at the Bar I worked out, get smashed and smoke a whole pack...and state that THAT is what they made confession for. Going to church on sunday does not clear your slate. It is your actions that remain in the memories of those around you.

I am told by those same christians who state they will pray for my "salvation" that i am going straight to the firey gates of hell if i don't change my ways. I am a good person. Try to live life the right way, and survive one day at a time. THAT is all anyone can ask in this day and age.

to wolfefamily2001:

After reading 6 pages of this nonsence, I finally got to your post. Thank you for stating what so many needed to hear. I have respect for the Christian God, but as another Mythological god. For people to state that their "God" is the only one, and that you must know HIM, is completely one-sided. Who are you to try to FORCE your beliefs on the unwilling soul? You have to have a balance in the spectrum of life. Male, female. Light, dark. Good,bad. Feminine/Masculine.

Anyone know about Lilith??? She was Adam's FIRST wife! It's in your book. Look it up. I used to be a Baptist until the stories the preacher told didn't add up anymore. Too many missing pieces. I spent 10 years trying to discover a path that made sence to me. I am now a PAGAN, and a Native American so,yes, I believe in reincarnation, and I am very happy.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE CENTER! It is up to you to personally choose the path to the godheads. You can bash and hate everyone all you want, but it will not get you any closer to the victorious grand ending. Love yourself, and respect others in their chosen paths with open-minds and unselfishness. May the goddesses and gods guide you to your own self-discovery, in whatever form they may choose to be.

Just look at our universe. and remember this for evry effect there has to be a cause. some say the big bang caused our universe what caused the big bang and they will say two planits came to close together and exploded into our universe. What or who caused these planet into being ? to which they will say they were formed out of gass in the atmosphire. What or who caused the gas ? to which they will say the gass was formed out of vapors in the atmosphire. What or who caused vapors They were formed in the atmosphire. Whate or who caused the atnosphire?.And remember it is a siantific fact that nothing can not cause something and for evry effect there must be a cause

God is real. He is not made up. There is scientific proof that God created the world. There is proof that Jesus was on earth. Jesus was sinless and died on the cross for our sins and went to hell for 3 days and rose again. Jesus was a human form of God. Jesus has all the attributes as God did. What if you died tommorrow in a car crash before accepting Christ as your savior. There is a real hell. The end is near

Not sure about reincarntion but sometimes you get the feeling that your soul knows someone elses that it feels so confortable with them...like you meet someone for the fist time but you feel like you know them already? and you hit it off and the connection is so strong. My first real love although it didn't last i was so young he was four years older we became just friends was I the only one that felt that way I was so comfortable with him... Reba is funny and I think she is liked by a lot of people today people have so many veiws about heven and what an after life is or about what happens to our souls... in maybe in this life sometimes we don't always end up with a good life and the dievine gives us the opertunity to redo it a differnt way... and the heven and hell thing is over rated . No one has come back except Jeaus and not too many people belived him...only the christians and the Catholics and I am a Catholic.
Being a catholic there is always time to repent about one's believe just as long as you can find a Priest before you leave this world.

WHAT A LOAD OF JUDGMENTAL B.S. DOESN'T IT MATTER TO ANY OF YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT JESUS WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN? HE WAS A JEW WITH A LOT OF GREEK IDEAS AND SO EVERYONE, AT LEAST IN THIS COUNTRY, INCLUDING REBA HAS EVERY RIGHT TO WORSHIP AND BELIEVE THE WAY HER HEART TELLS HER.
