'Recorded history shows the relationship between human and animal has been very one-sided! Man's exploitation/treatment of animals stands out as one of the darkest stains on his reputation. Is the purpose of life for the indulgence of selfish desires? Or a medium for soul growth? If we behave brutally or selfishly, then we are brutes and selfish. No religious label or outward facade alters this truth. Can we believe in and preach life after death, and yet be party to murdering millions of innocent animals via the blood-drenched abattoir, vivisection, fur trade, 'games', entertainment, 'sports'???'

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.

I think you're right, Wyatt. I can't see a god damn thing.

Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?

'Do you believe in life after death?' the boss asked one of his employees. 'Yes, Sir.' the new recruit replied. 'Well, then, that makes everything just fine,' the boss went on. 'After you left early yesterday to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you.'
