There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know. So why fret about it?

Actually, if there isn't, then there won't be any evidence against it, and we will never know.

Heinlein also wrote:

"History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."

And, more apropos to our discussion:

"The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa."

Yup.

Let's table it. I get the feeling we are more or less in agreement.

Agnostically yours,
