Some white guy near Chicago decided to celebrate America Day by killing at least six people with a gun at a parade. Doesn’t get more American than that.

Well, we did have two other mass shootings just a month or so ago. One in New York where ten people were killed in a grocery store, and one in Texas where 19 kids and two teachers were killed in an elementary school.

Still fresh, damnit!
The BBC was reporting that the US experienced a mass shooting every week this year so far. I think this was their source:

Hint to UKers: Julian Assange for PM. (not that I love the character, but a victim needs vindication, an at least I trust him to fix end to end encryption nonsense legislation).
Hint to USAers: get rid of your 2nd amendment. Then you'll have proved mass shootings are not the American way (or was it the American dream?). Bury the Far West hype already and stop burying children.
Hint to the rest: Let's not think we're any better but keep trying to be.

Man's lifetime of mystical experiences includes seeing 13,000-year history of humanity on earth and past lives

This guy mentions seeing the history of humanity on earth, but conveniently doesn’t say more about it. This part interests me though:
So your soul can be recycled into something non-human. Interesting.
I don't know much about religions but I had this notion than some (hinduism???) had this notion of you reincarnating in higher or lower life forms depending on how well you used your life, with the end goal being reaching some kind of illumination or bodyless existence or something. I may be mixing concepts, no offense meant to anyone.
I always thought for that to work people had to somehow keep the faith while reincarnating in different species, and since my atheist pov, other species may have their own ideas of what a superior life form is, so assuming you want to reincarnate in better and better humans and reach nirvana, once you were say a dolphin or a crow or an olive tree, maybe your concept of higher life form changed, and you considered reincarnating in human as demotion (humans? they're dirty, can't fly, can't live thousands of years, swim pitifully! who wants to be human?).
No idea.

One can give offense by getting some fiction wrong?
Sure. Pick the author of fiction you most dislike. If I attributed their works to you, you might take offense.
So if I attribute some belief to some religion that doesn't have it, those who spend their life making proselitism of it might take offense. It's like putting words in somebody's mouth. It's not about me not believing the words, it's about whether they go around saying it or not.
