It is clear that rituals and sacrifices can bring people together, and it may well be that a group that does such things has an advantage over one that does not. But it is not clear why a religion has to be involved. Why are gods, souls, an afterlife, miracles, divine creation of the universe, and so on brought in?
I am not interested in the afterlife. Religion is supposed to be about losing your ego, not preserving it eternally in optimum conditions.
I'd like to see a ghost. It would confirm there's an afterlife.
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you die tomorrow.
My view of the afterlife is that it's made of different levels, depending on how spiritual a life we live.
I cannot live a life where I'm deprived. I'd much rather be five, 10 pounds heavier. With my luck, I'll get myself to that perfect goal weight, and I'll get hit by a bus. Then I'll be like... looking at myself from some afterlife going, 'You idiot. You could have had that agnolotti, dummy.'
There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.
I do believe in an afterlife. I try to be at one with people and try to love life as much as I can.
