Somewhere, a pregnant mom’s blissful bump was carrying twin babies—Faith and Doubt. They were healthy and developing fast. One day, a sudden conversation sparked between the siblings.
Faith said: “Doubt, you know, I really believe in the idea of life after birth. What about you?”
Doubt remarked: “What?! It would be good if you stop dreaming, Faith. There is nothing beyond this materialistic existence that you and I are perceiving right now. What life after birth? This is life, right now and here. There doesn’t exist anything called life after birth.”
Faith insisted: “I am sure there is something more out there that is even better and more beautiful than this existence. There will be birth and it will be soon … and there is life after birth.”
Doubt criticized Faith yet again, saying: “Don’t be a fool, Faith. Be practical. Everything is finished after birth. There is nowhere to go after birth.
