Reply #45: I think it's possible but how can we know?

I once, over 10 years ago, had my boyfriend's sister ask me if I thought there was an afterlife. I answered no. She then asked me what do I think happens after I die. I said that's it, you get buried in a box. I think she was shocked as she is a devout Catholic. My question is: what difference does it make? Living your life as though it's the only life you have doesn't make you less moral than someone who's trying to live their life as though someone (God?) is waiting to tell them whether they did a good job or not and will allow them to go to heaven or live forever.

I think no matter how I got here or how I leave, I still have to deal with what's happening today in this world. This is the only world I know for sure I have the ability to make decisions about.
