I've had experiences while on LSD that hint at an afterlife. But if my experiences were true, it would be egoless and disembodied. No family or friends involved. But I know this is far fetched and being gone completely doesn't worry me too much. Just to be free of pain would be enough.

As a former catholic I can say the catholic church has no moral superiority, it's corrupt and backwards in almost all areas, as are most other churches. The priesthood and religious orders are filled with closeted homosexuals, I don't say gay as this involves more than sexual orientation.

Trump really thinks he can run for a third term?
