Dead people know. Billions of people know, they just can’t get the answer back to us.

In the dedication of her book “Spook” Mary Roach writes, “To my parents, wherever they are, or aren’t.” An interviewer asked her, are you willing to say they are somewhere, or they aren’t? She answered, “If I had to put my money on it, and I had to decide one way or the other, I would put my money on, they aren’t anywhere. But that’s really depressing. My mother believed. My mother absolutely had faith that when she died that she was going to heaven. And even if she’s wrong, she doesn’t know she’s wrong. So, she went through her whole life with a calmness and a peace of mind that I’ll never have. The people who believe, win. The skeptics lose.”
