This is what my dad (Saint Gianfranco) used to always say to conclude any
discussion, especially when his opinion wasn’t agreed by the others in the discussion,
it means – like in any democracy – that the majority wins and this is what I
want to suggest to some of the atheists I know (i.e. Iacopo and Michele), in fact any and all religions that exist now
or that ever existed (even the cavemen
hundreds of hundreds of thousands of years ago who showed in the graffiti made in
caves in southern France the already dead friends successfully hunting big
games) talk about and
believe in what’s today called “afterlife”, that’s the most advanced research
in quantum physics.
There are
plenty different types of what may happen after we die, I’m going to list here
the 2 examples that stick most in my (broken) mind, the one of my friend Iacopo – atheist philosopher among the ones
who have the most catholic beliefs I’ve ever encountered – who believes in
rebirth with the complete loss of the memories from the precedent life and the Buddhists
who believe that – according to the way life was lived - one can return to life
as a worm, a lion or some other animal.
Democracy
wins here too, because these very few atheists who believe that death is the
end of it all cannot compete against the trillions of people who believe that
death is like a “new beginning” as more intelligent people like A. Einstein and
other gifted people who are at par with such great minds.
I must
admit that my natural objectivity has helped me very much more than anyone
else, because of my NDE (even if I never had
such direct experience, I never had any doubt in the real existence of
afterlife).
Of course I
now feel to have become some kind of an "expert"
in it, but only because of an accident that I surely never wanted or imagined
to have, that made lose all I ever cared and loved before it, but also because –
for some reason I can’t explain – I can predict what will happen in a near
future to others much better than I used to and that used to give to me the rare
advantage to predict how business is
going to react depending on what was done by me or by others in a determined
time or market.
