For thinking people not already duped:
How is a belief about afterlife rationally proved?
Step 1: Problem simplification:
Deal in afterlife belief classes. There are four: each housing a chosen cause (nature or magic) and chosen effect (afterlife or cessation).
Step 2: Reliable proof quality:
Only arguments adhering to strict rules are admissable. And only evidences of the testable kind are admissable. This is the age of reason.
Step 3: Thorough investigation:
Two mandatory investigations: one dealing in introspection (our looking inward) and one dealing in extrospection (our looking outward).
Step 4: Impeccable structure:
Two investigations: each housing two semi-related avenues. Each avenue has a central argument flanked by two testable evidences.
One belief completes this challenge. It is the actual truth. The other three make no progress.
