> Scott I so agree with this. What do you feel there is nothing but just gone and that it. That is what I think and wish someone could convince me by showing me otherwise. Phillipa
It's sort of like Pascal's Wager in reverse. I will bet that there is no afterlife. In that way, I will make the most out of the life we live here. If I lose my wager, I will be pleasantly surprised. Spiritually, I have an irrepressible belief in God. However, I don't think He likes to break his own rules. What happens to tubeworms when their volcanic vents becomes clogged and they die for lack of hydrogen sulfide? Are they any less deserving of an afterlife than homo sapiens? I could go deeper, but suffice it to say, I am fortunate that I live in a country that grants me liberties and allows me the opportunity to live a life free of misery.
