As I said - absence of proof is not proof of absence. You believe that there is no "other side," and as it happens I also believe that - but that's belief, not fact. A fact, by definition, can be tested and proven to be true. The absence of an afterlife is no more testable than the presence of one. sherm--

If what you wrote is not what you meant, that's neither my fault nor my problem. Buy a dictionary if you need one. sherm-- |
