Death & The Afterlife – Frequently Asked Questions (Part 6)
April 10th 2007 21:13
Q. 6 What if one does not value immortality?
For heaven to claim universal appeal, it needs to offer something for the nihilists.
Some people maintain that on dying, they will simply want to stay dead. Since the success of heaven does not rely on everyone 'getting with the program', oblivion is a viable option.
If, after a cooling-off period and comprehensive System demonstrations, the dead are not impressed by deification, they can forfeit their afterlives and disappear utterly and for ever.
Few do.
Would you?
