If the afterlife is not what I expected...
I expect heaven and hell, I expect people who love and worship god to go to heaven, and people who don't love and don't worship god to go to hell. I think that maybe some people get into heaven that aren't meant to and maybe people can go to hell even after being accepted into heaven, satan was banished so it shows that there is free will in heaven, at least amongst angels.
So, what are the believed other possibilities other than heaven and hell. There is nothingness in which case I wouldnt be surprised because well.. nothing..
There is rebirth. Most people dont remember their previous life so again... nothing to expect... I dont know the rules of rebirth so if its like your are bad this life you'll be punished in the next. Well if I'm not going to remember it, why the hell do I care what happens?
Ghosts- Not much is believed here.. they exist, they roam, but nothing ever really explained other than they are seen sometimes, maybe reliving their life over and over not knowing they are dead...so...again....nothing...
I think its impossible for me to understand athiest. I mean, if your a good person, nothing happens. if your a bad person, nothing happens. If God is real at least I followed him, but if I'm following a non-existant god then nothing is going to happen so why does it matter? The "right" religion might have died 100 million years ago. I don't KNOW but I have faith that I got the right one.
