If you die and there is an afterlife, what you do in your life makes a HUGE difference... right?

the way I see it, on one hand, you are banking on a chance that all things turn out the same, and on the other hand, you are saving yourself from somthing.

Have you heard of life insurance??? You pay it in case somthing happens... if nothing happens, there wasn't a point to paying it, if everything happens, you were smart for paying for it.

So why not pay it?

What you are saying is, what if nothing happens? What I'm saying is "What if somthing does?"

To me, you have nothing to lose by reading a book.
Life insurance is not for you personally. It's for your family after you die. Have you seen the nice little catalog they got when you die? Caskets, vaults, funeral service, tomb stones, cemetary space, getting death certificates, and not to mention the loss of that person's income. Everyone will die, so you know you will need it. It's not for you, it's for your family. And if you've ever seen the price it costs when someone died, you would want your family to have it if you died.
