The movies they make lately, I’m inclined to agree with that thought, Cross your bank, a co-worker, even an internet boo-boo, your in deep. I assume you live alone as I, I live for the Seasons, although my sledding days are over. ---

Isn’t this where somebody more witty than I posts, “I see dead dopers.” ---

There is no afterlife. There is nothing when you die, just as there was nothing before your birth. Be careful what you hope for. That’s just as unscientific as those who say that there is an afterlife. ---

If there is an afterlife, I just hope it’s not as icky as afterbirth. ---

> [@Imasquare](#): > > That’s just as unscientific as those who say that there is an afterlife. I don’t think you understand science. The position that there is no soul or afterlife would be the null hypothesis; there would need to be positive evidence to demonstrate that they exist. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > I think you’ll find most people on this board don’t believe in an afterlife, don’t believe in a God, and believe you will return to the ground when you die. But, that’s still a good place to go if life is wearing you out. If there’s no Heaven, there’s no Hell either. Now troubles are many, they’re as deep as a well. I can swear there ain’t no heaven but I pray there ain’t no hell. Swear there ain’t no heaven and I pray there ain’t no hell, But I’ll never know by living, only my dying will tell. Yes only my dying will tell. Yeah, only my dying will tell. – Blood, Sweat & Tears [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-home-sick/665369.md?page=1)
