Is there an afterlife we should prefer over thsi one?
Here's the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas on the subject:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he similarities between the two gospels are remarkable, as much for what they do not say as for what they do. Like Jefferson's gospel, Thomas's ignores the virgin birth. Thomas's Jesus never performs a miracle, never calls himself the Son of God, and never claims that he will have to die for the sins of humankind. Instead he tells parables, he issues instructions, and, most alarmingly, he locates the kingdom of God in that one place we might never lookâright in front of us.
