I do believe in an afterlife, but it really doesn't matter all that much to me whether there is or not. If there is not, then I will be oblivious and not regret the fact that I no longer exist. If there is, I am quite sure it will be a step or two up from this life. Either way, it won't be bad so there is nothing to fear.

So to me, the possibility of an afterlife is neither a reason for belief or for hope. The reason I believe in an afterlife is that it makes the most sense to me out of all the other alternatives.

Warm regards,

Paul
