Afterlife Planning
![]() So Many Heavens, So Little Time
As discussed elsewhere, every believer in a monotheistic religion that traces its origins back to Abraham is going to hell. To the other guy's hell, to be sure, but to Hell nonetheless. As Sherlock Holmes would have said, it's elementary logic. But What of Heaven? Ask your favorite clergy for the exact location of Heaven (GPS coordinates not available) and they have no idea. This poses a serious problem for the individual who takes his or her afterlife destination planning seriously. What if there are actually multiple heavens, one for each personality type? What if you're a flaming Libertarian and your afterlife destination planning gets screwed up by underpaid temps in the Great Beyond and you get sent to a heaven full of whining liberals? Would not that be the very definition of Hell? Fortunately, Science Offers Some Comfort Here We know that everything is energy. Even solid matter is just concentrated energy which explains 5-year olds. Physicists now suspect that consciousness may well persist beyond mortal death. Of course, you'd have to have been conscious to begin with. Given the recent U.S. presidential election, one cannot help but wonder! |
