Is reincarnation the devil's doctrine?

I doubt the authenticity of reincarnation. At the rate that population is increasing on earth, there would be no souls left for the babies being born every minute. Or do the souls magically replicate themselves and that I have 1/1000th of the soul of a queen in the middle ages?

Christianity does indeed refuse reincarnation simply because If you die you won't go to heaven, and that means that if people believe in reincarnation, maybe they won't have any fears and they will start doing bag things and chaos will break free on this world.

What if we look at it this way?

It's been said that the devil rules the earth. And so many out there believe that just living here day in and day out is a brand of hell...depending on how bad their circumstances. So if you make it to Heaven then you're freed from this place, but if you don't, what better punishment than to be sent back to the place you loathe, lifetime after lifetime, while the planet slowly dies and society continues to degrade?

Perhaps those who do good in this life are rewarded with another life after this one, and are reincarnated. Perhaps heaven as we call it is earth, after all men are the ones who create evil on earth, without man, the earth would be a maginficant and marvelous miracle.
Those who do bad, are not rewarded with another chance to live after this and go somehwere else.

adding to my previous comment, man is the only species on Earth that harms another for self gratification. Animals will only harm for food and survival.

I don't think I ever thought about it that way. If all the "bad" people were no longer on the planet then it really could be a kind of Heaven.
