• Tripe. A Liberal screed disguised as bad fiction.
  Let me save you some time and money. Here it is, in a nutshell:

  Or do we move on to another plane of existence?
  We believe, right or wrong, that because we are self aware, that we can think and interact with the world and others, that we have an immortal soul.
  Just what exactly is the soul anyhow? No one really can answer that. You ask a hundred different people and you'll... more info
