If reincarnation isn't true, then there's no point in anything. You can be as good/evil as you like and there'll be no come back at the end and nothing and nobody mattters. However, the one life and then judgement doesn't stand up to analysis either. Take a cot death baby; what's the point of a life that may only last minutes, hours or days, and then that's it. And as for the judgement bit, just how are you going to be judged by a supposedly perfect, all knowing creator, who's just dealt you the worst and most unreasonable hand? On the other hand if it is true, then we can look to makign the most out of each life, and trying to connect with those we may have met before, as well as making the use of the talents we bring with us. Moreover, reincarnation explains perfectly why you have child prodigies like Mozart who was composing pieces at the age of four (his dad had to help him write the notes out) or anyone to whom a particular activity or interest becomes familiar right from the start. Are they learning this, or remembering this again from a previous time? Believers in reincarnation includes not only the ancient Egyptians, but such non new age folks as Henry Ford and General George Patton, who claimed to remember retreating from Moscow with Napoleon in 1812, and fighting against the armies of ancient Rome.
Best wishes, David.
