If there is no solid scientific evidence for the afterlife--and there is none, personal anecdotes from people who have been close to death are garbage--then belief in the afterlife is irrational, and I don't give a flying fuck how insulted people are when I say so. Truth matters and idiots are idiots. First of all that is mighty 'scientific' of you to dismiss the anecdotes of various of hundreds of thousands of people of all walks of life and backgrounds as nothing but "garbage" without a second (or first) look; but more importantly J-Law's response is not a matter of evidence of the afterlife, but a matter of whether such a belief or hope is "narcissistic." I can understand how in the delusional Hollywood den of material opulence, where the main event of one's year is giving each other golden statues, it could be seen as "narcissistic," but it in no way shape or form corresponds with the vast majority of humankind throughout the ages, where the afterlife is the only hope that dreams, justice, mercy, restoration and redemption will not be defeated by death for all time. Sge only said that she doesn't know but that SHE tends to belief rather not. And she is free to think whatever she likes in this matter. When we were asked this question (20 years ago by our English teacher) nobody raised his hand.
