It isn't that you should reject if you find them to not make sense,it is that you should reject if you find them to be false. The power of Buddhas teachings are that the realizations are obtainable by anyone who chooses to walk the path. But, if through skillful analysis and practice find a teaching to be false, then you must reject. It's similar to the scientific approach.The goal is not to simply believe, but to discover the nature of things, the truth, and our place in it/how we relate to it.
To Buddhists, there are an infinite number of minds, because there are gods, nagas/demigods, humans, animals (i.e., any non-human life from elephants to protozoa), hungry ghosts, and hell-beings. This infinite pool of minds means that there is no danger of "running out", since we all have been all things at one time or another.
it is the way your paragraph flowed. there were two separate issues: 1. how does the transmigration of minds work? 2. should we reject a teaching that "does not make sense"? The natural way would be to express them in separate sections. However, you had placed point 1 in between two sentences about point 2. This caused some readers to misunderstand the tone of your paragraph. Fortunately, CosmoKadampa and Ogbe Di understood what you were saying and have addressed your points.

Anybody Out there Ever Met anyone, based on their mentally Ill minds' perspective, that was not mentally ill and held zero negative thoughts??
Sheldon Sugar No. But wouldn't it be wonderful if we did see people like that wondering around. That's the hope, the promise, the practice.
