re : i have a dilemma, page-7

IchimokuTrader,

When you see a dentist ‘you will personally weigh the evidence and personally make a decision’. If they inform you that one of your fillings is cracked and needs to be replaced, you must think is this a reputable professional who works for a good business with a history of satisfied patients or is this some guy you have just met in a dark laneway waiving a rusty drill in your face? A good decision has to do with available evidence and has nothing to do with ‘blind faith’.

But there is no evidence to suggest that ‘you, as a person, may continue to exist after the death of your physical body’ and ‘that this existence may be either meaningful or meaningless depending on what's in your heart when you die’. Making a decision based on something lacking evidence is foolish.

The ‘grave consequences’ of a ‘false belief’ in life after death is that your very short existence is spent devoted to something meaningless.
