Embezzled, Diddled, and Popped
Embezzled, Diddled, and Popped
The chapter opens by inviting the reader to imagine that at her funeral, someone falsely claims she embezzled money, diddled children in the park, and popped kittens in the microwave for fun. It then stages a collision between skeptical views dismissing the thought that that would qualify an injury and arguments that it would. It underwrites the skeptical case by exploring the case that contrary intuitions are an illegitimate hangover of religious beliefs about the afterlife.
