  • Necessary for Religious Believers to Believe in Life After Death
    • Something to look forward to (Christianity)
      • Second Corinthians 6:17
        • "Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you"
      • If you have a moral life, then you are welcomed into Heaven
      • If Christians want to reach the final purpose (Natural Law) then they must have this belief
    • Should be morally correct regardless (Buddhism)
      • Anguttara Nikaya, Vol. IV
        • "How, Lord, is a lay disciple virtuous?... When a lay disciple abstains from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, drinking intoxicants, then he is virtuous"
      • Buddhists are eternally living but yet are morally correct
      • Links to higher and lower pleasures of util.
        • Higher pleasures make people immoral
    • Reborn into a new body, no justice
      • Buddhists find rebirth and enlightenment to be much more important than the afterlife
      • Aspects can lead to Nirvana to which all suffering and existence will end
