Reply #1: my personal view of the afterlife is that it's not for the dead [View All]

[unblock]

my personal view is that when you die, you're dead, all your thoughts cease, you experience nothing.

however, your soul survives in the collective memories of others -- your community, your family.

heaven is being remembered well, and hell is being remembered unfavorably.

for this reason, we try to make a positive impact on the people around us and the people we leave behind.

we have families to remember us.

we work to have a positive impact on our community.


but none of it directly impacts ME once i'm dead, only the memory of me, my soul, my essence, my reputation.
