Why? There's no evidence at all to sup****t any separate existence or an
existence that goes past death. Why waste your time on such stories?

There is no reason to claim that there is anything but the life we see.

No evidence sup****ts claims about gods. No evidence sup****ts claims
about life after death.

How silly. Do you know anything about science?
