(commenting on film about an after life)


The film seems to have focused only on suicides that could be triggered if the after-life is seen as real. But so many other things would also happen which would be much more significant.

1. People would be happier because they know death is only a transition.

2. People would be more moral and ethical because someone is watching and keeping records.

3. People will focus less on pleasures here and more on their duties and responsibilities.

4. Scientists would stop philosophizing and giving their opinion on religion and spirituality. Dawkins would be somewhat depressed.

5. No one will bother about the cosmos and galaxies, big bang, exo planets etc. Better things to do.

6. Similarly with QM, evolution etc., though genetics and medical science would still be fairly relevant.

7. Crime may come down for fear of the after-life.....because the after-life does not mean only 'heaven', there would be a 'hell' too. Some NDErs have said so.

8. Generally, priorities will change dramatically, and lifestyles will change...though some people may still be unable to control their base animal instincts.
