Actually Kant thought that it meant the idea of such a god and an afterlife must be possible, and that people should act as if it were true, if I remember my Critique of Practical Reason correctly (it's been 8 years). Kant wouldn't use a phrase like "must be" to describe a being outside the realm of all possible experience -- it would contradict the whole of the First Critique (one of the most brilliant books ever).
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
