When I say that the afterlife is worthy of consideration, I mean that it has the ability to influence some people's experience in this world for the better, and that those people should by all means accept the prospect of the afterlife if doing so benefits their life.
So if I
want to believe that Eliza Dushku and Winona Ryder are coming over to my house soon with a keg of Pilsner Urqell and a hundred Viagras, and that makes me practice my very best personal hygiene and start exercising, that the belief has benefitted my life? That's easily as likely as an afterlife is, or maybe more so: Eliza and Winona
actually, verifiably exist!
