dn23:16.1 “Even though the worthy Kassapa says this, still I think that
BAGIAN 16
dn23:16.2 there is no afterlife.”
dn23:16.3 “Can you prove it?”
dn23:16.4 “I can.”
dn23:16.5 “How, exactly, chieftain?”
dn23:16.6 “Suppose they were to arrest a bandit, a criminal and present him to me, saying,
dn23:16.7 ‘Sir, this is a bandit, a criminal.
dn23:16.8 Punish him as you will.’
dn23:16.9 I say to them,
dn23:16.10 ‘Well then, worthy sir, weigh this man with scales while he’s still alive. Then strangle him with a bowstring, and when he’s dead, weigh him again.’
dn23:16.11 They agree, and do what I ask.
dn23:16.12 So long as they are alive, they’re lighter, softer, more flexible.
dn23:16.13 But when they die they become heavier, stiffer, less flexible.
dn23:16.14 This is how I prove that
dn23:16.15 there is no afterlife.”
