xxrayeyes...that is a great book you are paraphrasing there.
Better bet on "Dust to Dust" in the 5th at Hialeah, the odds are extremely long on "Eternal Life"
It sounds good but it is a patented example of your wanting to live forever in the face of unrelenting truth.
Animals in the field have an awareness level and in that sense there must be a heaven and eternal life for them also.
It only stands to reason...and by the way, if you question this, please first check to see if they piss and crap out of their bottoms like we do and then tell the class how this might be a new fly in your Oh So Oily Ointment.
I just can't imagine what your life after death would be like? I mean, if you are clinging so firmly to this life, there must be something better here than in a putative afterlife...right? Only makes sense.
Maybe you have never attained a state of Nirvana? Might give it a try...it can be done...and it will certainly give you a lot to talk about for years to come...I mean; look at me!
