If you die and there is no afterlife, what difference would it have made what you did in your life?
If you die and there is an afterlife, what you do in your life makes a HUGE difference... right?
the way I see it, on one hand, you are banking on a chance that all things turn out the same, and on the other hand, you are saving yourself from somthing.
Have you heard of life insurance??? You pay it in case somthing happens... if nothing happens, there wasn't a point to paying it, if everything happens, you were smart for paying for it.
So why not pay it?
What you are saying is, what if nothing happens? What I'm saying is "What if somthing does?"
To me, you have nothing to lose by reading a book.
