@jasonfire Already answered that.

@SW-User curious how you can apply reason to the topic of the afterlife. guess ill have to read the book

@jasonfire The trick is getting off to a good start by simplifying the problem. There can only be four afterlife belief classes and one of them is necessarily correct, for every possibility has been covered:

Combinations of cause and effect:

Natural afterlife
Magical afterlife
Natural cessation
Magical cessation

@1490wayb Thanks for asking. It's a practical application of philosophy: asking what happens if reason is correctly applied to the topic of afterlife.
