Belief in the after life is so strong and prevalent in people because people wish to continue living. They don't want to die. They 'imagine' a world were no one ever dies, so that they can live/cope with he finite world and all the relationships they have created in it.

The afterlife is almost an instinct. It is the imaginary realm of life extension. Before, when life was, short, cruel and brutal, and people dropped like participles of dust on a table, it was hard to accept life as it was, a cruel kind of disease, but now that we have greater technologies for life extension, it is clear that the afterlife was merely the wish for life extension.

Afterlife = life 'after' I have died. The wish for an after life = the desire for life extension = the desire to continue living, and continue the relationships we have had.

Bring on cryocenic immortality. The question is - Are you pro-death or pro-life?

It's all about pros and cons - prostitutes and convicts. Those who prostitute life to suits their own needs and those who have convictions about the way life should be, and put it into practice.

For the record, I'm an immortalist. I plan on living in increasing health, vitality, and youthfulness forever.

I'm a bit of an immortalist myself. And over recent months I've made good progress...

Correction. Olaf said he's a bit of an immoralist.

I'm a bit of an immoralist myself. And over recent months I've made good progress, in my small life, of cutting out the booze and the drugs. So I might yet write coherently...

Need to look into getting some glasses, red.

In case you are reading this at work, red, it's Johnny Cash singing a killer version
of Sam Hall on YouToob. Here are the lyrics:

(I've highlighted a few key words for you.)

Lyrics :

Well, my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall.
Yes, my name it is Sam Hall; it is Sam Hall.
My name it is Sam Hall an' I hate you, one and all.
An' I hate you, one and all:
Damn your eyes.

I killed a man, they said; so they said.
I killed a man, they said; so they said.
I killed a man, they said an' I smashed in his head.
An' I left him layin' dead,
Damn his eyes.

But a-swingin', I must go; I must go.
A-swingin', I must go; I must go.
A-swingin', I must go while you critters down below,
Yell up: "Sam, I told you so."
Well, damn your eyes!

Instrumental break.

I saw Molly in the crowd; in the crowd.
I saw Molly in the crowd; in the crowd.
I saw Molly in the crowd an' I hollered, right out loud:
"Hey there Molly, ain't you proud?
"Damn your eyes."

Then the Sherriff, he came to; he came to.
Ah, yeah, the Sherriff, he came to; he came to.
The Sherriff, he come to an he said: "Sam, how are you?"
An I said: "Well, Sherriff, how are you,
"Damn your eyes."

My name is Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel, an' I'll see you all in hell.
An' I'll see you all in hell,
Damn your eyes.
