This state of affairs not only fails to engage with the core issue at the heart of the culture of death, it also tacitly encourages
agnosticism about life after death, human freedom, the ultimate nature of evil and the human need for prayer and religious practice.
Questioning
about «
life after death» does not necessarily lead to sheer atheism, or denial of God altogether; nor yet to
agnosticism, or uncertainty
about whether there is or is not an unsurpassable reality appropriately called God.
