@kevin-eleven saidNo your subconscious parading around in your dead grannies dress does not count as evidence of the afterlife.
One of my late grandmothers once fed me a line in a dream.
Does that count?
@kellyjay saidI'm not sure this superstitious assertion amounts to much in the way of evidence. Your faith is not evidence. Stories about people's beliefs twenty centuries ago is, at the very best, the weakest of weak evidence. Odd, isn't it? ...that your religion doesn't equip you with something stronger and more persuasive.
Jesus rising from the dead altered the world afterward, not blaspheme, the answer
to his question.
@fmf saidOne guy who history should have been swallowed up into obscurity rises from the dead in history and the whole world is changed.

@kellyjay saidThe undisputed success of Christianity as a religion is not evidence that there is life after death. Islam is also a successful religion that promises an afterlife. Hinduism too is successful and promises immortality through reincarnation. The success/appeal of these traditions does not mean that the statement "once you are dead, you are dead" is at odds with reality.

@fmf saidYou can ignore it but you can not say no evidence.
