Once again crashfrog, step out of your delusional reality, and come to accept that no one knows whether or not there is an afterlife...
I believe that's pretty much what he said. No one knows because it's not falsifiable.
The original argument... "A person (in general) who believes in life after death has more inner peace than a person who believes (much like yourself) that there is no life after death." still stands. It would take a fact such as the following to tear down my argument...
The original argument was that "it is only on the religious side that true peace can be found" (my emphasis), and that doesn't stand at all unless you have an objective definition of "true peace", and a comprehensive study which somehow proves that atheists and agnostics are incapable of finding this peace. Have you got either? I can't be bothered reading through over a dozen pages to find out.
Your reformed argument (which is somewhat toned down by the words "in general") needs similar confirmation. Nobody needs to tear down your agument because the burden of proof is still on you.
