Afterlife Illogical?

[annatar]

Sure it's not logical, because as far as we can prove, existence of our consciousness rely on our brains. When ones brain's functioning no more, so ends ones existence. But If you think it's there is no logical consistency in the idea of afterlife, I have to disagree, since I can think of a perfectly consistent afterlife myself.(I could elaborate on that but I won't. I am thinking of creating my own religion one day and I don't want complications with copyright issue. )

1. It is only correct to assume that a higher power or deity of some kind is kinda a prerequisite for an afterlife. For it would require one to create another existence outside of this one.(correct me if I am wrong.)

Not necessarily. There could be a coincidental parallel universe that captures the spirits of people of this universe. (Heey, just as crazy...)

Since your premise is not necessarily true, the life and afterlife is not logically inconsistent. And even if the case was that there is was higher being, I can cite loads of reasons that would make afterlife necessary. Maybe it's a test, or maybe this world is the creation process. "Perhaps this world is simply the Egg of the next kalpa? Lein vokiin? Would you stop the next world from being born?" said The Paarthurnax* one day(well, actually several times) to me, maybe he is right...

*For boring people: Paarthurnax is a wise old dragon from the game Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim (and he tends to mix English with Dragon Language)
