While waiting in a doctor’s office recently, I checked out an article in AARP The Magazine titled “Life After Death.” Its stated purpose: In an exclusive survey of 1,011 people 50 and over, AARP The Magazine sought to learn just what Americans in the second half of life think about life after death. In general, the survey reflected a high percentage of belief in the afterlife, increasing multiculturalism, and doctrinal inconsistency.
