In the movie Gladiator Russell Crowe, as the Roman general Maximus, addresses his troops before battle. He tells them to imagine where they will be after the battle; and if they do they will live and it will be so. “Hold the line!  Stay with me!  If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium [Heaven], and you’re already dead! Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.”

Is there life after death, what evidence do you have, and how does affect how you live now?
