After death we're dead, full stop. At some point, Christ will come back "to judge the living and the dead", and the dead will be resurrected in the flesh. The resurrection of the body is really important to me -- I don't think I could believe in a religion that didn't teach this. I like my body!

"Die Deutschen meinen, daß die Kraft sich in Härte und Grausamkeit offenbaren müsse, sie unterwerfen sich dann gerne und mit Bewunderung:[...]. Daß es Kraft giebt in der Milde und Stille, das glauben sie nicht leicht."
"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
