        Means you're so offended by the Buddha's statement, "There   
   actually is the next world" in the Apannaka Sutta you're   
   pretending it's an empty assertion.  But that isn't the case in   
   the sutta.  Just the opposite:  the Buddha calls it "true   
   dhamma," right speech," and so on.  Precisely what you tried to   
   deny.
