But suppose there is an afterlife. What do I have to do to achieve it? You will quote some form of prophet as having the answer. I will answer that I simply do not believe any of the prophets on offer. Suppose the only way of attaining the afterlife is to say "Bibbly Bibbly whoop" six times a say - how can you dare to risk your soul by not doing it? Or suppose the only way is by human sacrifice - how do you dare not sacrifice in order? These make as much sense, to me, as the claims of Christianity or Islam. Luckily, not believing in an afterlife, I don't have to do these or any of the other things that just might be the keys to the afterlife.
