Do you WANT there to be an afterlife?

[John Dule]

Of course I want to live forever-- though not enough to trick myself into thinking I actually will, of course.

[John Dule]

Whether you want an afterlife is deeply irrelevant. This is equivalent to asking, do you want to die in New York City? Do you want to have legs? Do you want to have wings?

It is not entirely clear that a prescriptive view on the afterlife is possible and reasonably defensible, whereas a descriptive view almost assuredly is.

Communication is a two-way street, you know.
