Having been born into, and raised according to the teachings of the Christian Faith - as interpreted by the doctrines of the Church of Scotland - suffice to say at this stage, I like to believe there's an "afterlife" of SOME sort ... YES.
Otherwise ...... WHY on Earth [literally!] is there such misery and suffering throughout the world ... were it NOT to prepare US (the so-called human race) for a "better place"?
