This isn't what you BELIEVE happens, and what your science book or holy book teaches you, but what you truly hope, within your heart, will happen once the silver chord is cut.

edit: I left out Universalism because I thought it would be too popular, lol.

Hmmm....not enough options.While I don't believe it I must admit that I hope heaven is like a very long weekend at the playboy mansion.

I could not vote. There was not a choice called "I have no expectations".

I deliberately only listed those options because those roughly correspond to what the majority of humans/religions believe about the afterlife. Of course, you might have your own scenarios, but if you had to pick out of those I was curious as to what you'd choose.

Not enough choices. We could be living in some sort of simulation - maybe by our own choice.

Actually if you think about it this existence we live in is really just the falling from heaven...God creates Lucifer the most beautiful creation ever made....Lucifer ask God to experience existence without God...I.E. The Big Bang(The Falling or Separation) To not be part of God is to have no knowledge of why....The Universe(Lucifer) have existed for a very long time with no conscinous until life is born here on Earth...Now Lucifer realizes who it really is,and is very close to going back to being whole again..Soon Lucifer and God will be one again..

I agree with Sizzly Friddle. There is no point in having any expectations concerning which is completely unknown and unknowable (at least until after all contact with the world we know is lost).

'Worm food' is the most likely scenario by far (excluding cremation of course, to which I will be subjected ).
