Metalneck--

I must say I like the way you are thinking. If you believe you will live for ever-- you will. Who can prove you won't?

It is precisely this independence of thought that the hierarchy of the various religions are scared of. They set the exam papers for the afterlife and in no way appreciate others independently accessing privileges which should only come to adherents to rules of conduct, lifestyles and beliefs.

Personally I think that when you're dead that's it! But there is no reason why I should not imagine, and believe in, an afterlife of pleasure and ease floating among the stars and planets if I wish. Sounds nice doesn't it, but alas, I just made it up!
