believing in life after death as with believing in God or a higher power is just a mechanism for us simple baboons to make sense out of life, our existence and cope with the anxiety over the ups and downs of life, the finality of death and loss of loved ones.
its not necessary... but its a medical fact that those who desperately cling to such beliefs are more healthy emotionally than those who don't, have less stress, have less anxiety and have a greater sense of purpose and general sense of well being.
i don't believe in god or an afterlife... but i do understand the power of religion, belief systems and their connection to sound mental health.
