China bans reincarnating without government permission

In summary: So who decides what is "unphysical" doctrine? And isn't that essentially trying to control thought? I think we should be free to believe and practice whatever religion we choose, as long as it doesn't harm others.In summary, the Chinese government has issued a law that will go into effect next month, which strictly regulates the procedures for reincarnation. This move is seen as an attempt to institutionalize the management of reincarnation and gives the government the power to choose the next Dalai Lama. Many see this as a power grab and a violation of religious freedom.

Part of the justification for believing in omnipotence are "demonstrated" logical inconsistencies, otherwise known as miracles.
There are unsubstantiated claims for miracles, but there is no "demonstrated" objective evidence at all for any of these miracles. Is there any basis at all (rational or otherwise) for believing any of these unsubstantiated claims other than "faith" that this omnipotent power itself guarantees that these unsubstantiated claims are true, and that these unsubstantiated claims have been communicated in a flawless written record? If not, then how can these unsubstantiated claims justify a belief in an omnipotent power when a belief in this same omnipotent power is what justifies a belief in the unsubstantiated claims?
