What exactly is wrong with contemplating what is right and what is wrong? Good and Evil are not mathematical formulae.
Obviously, murder, stealing, fooling around on someone else's spouse, and/or yours are wrong. Not doing these things is good. It's good for you, and it's good for society in general. It's that black and white.
Thou shalt not kill; On September 11 2001, 5,000 people were brutally murdered. This was WRONG. Bad. Evil.
Thou shalt not steal: On September 11 2001, a bunch of cowardly b*stards stole three airliners and used them to murder 5,000 people. This was WRONG. Bad. Evil.
I shouldn't need to say more. It IS that black and white.
Reread the discussion; we are talking about an afterlife, not about life. To contemplate anything (such as the nature of the afterlife) after your death presupposes that there actually is an afterlife for you to do your contemplating in. Get it?
I'm saying that I don't belive pocat will have the opportunity to say, "Gee, I sure was wrong about that afterlife thing," nor I a moment of satisfaction for having been right.
