Silk here: If we were going to bet as to whether there is an "after life"
or total extinction upon death we could be one of three things: A believer
an atheist or an agnostic. The agnostic position, logically, is the most
reasonable however perhaps it's wiser to put your money on a compensatory
after life. If it's not true, this after life business, then what have you
lost? Nothing except being wrong & perhaps a sum of money which is
replaceable & if it's all over & the lights go out forever who cares. If on
the other hand it's true then you've scored big!
