Boy, 11, declared reincarnated holy man

Cows, rats, kids... what won't people worship?

Didn't their last one quit or something?

That's the best excuse I've heard for getting out of taking that math test...

The boy had gone insane. There's no physical evidence that he had a previous life. Give him more time and he'll want to return home to his mommy, daddy and friends. The novelty will wear off.

Obviously, the thought that your essence won't end when you die is a comforting one, but if your current life "disappeared"-- no memories, no known impact-- what difference would it make that you were reincarnated? Your present definition of self would be dead.
