        Aren't you wriggling again?  You said that even though the   
   Buddha might possibly have believed in a next world, it's   
   wrong to think that he argues for its existence in the Apannaka   
   Sutta.   
      
        But in the sutta, the Budda firmly asserts "There actually   
   is the next world."  He calls the proposition that there   
   actually is the next world "true dhamma."  He mentions the good   
   destination and the bad one.  Etc.

        I think your attachment to dogma prevents you from reading   
   the Apannaka Sutta honestly.
