Death

Do you ever think about death? What is it like to die?
What is it like to be dead?
I know, as a Christian, I should believe in an after-life, but do I really?
When you're dead are you gone forever?
Do you come back as someone else?
Do you go to a better place (or a worse one)? Do you have any friends when you're dead?
Can you see what is going on on earth?
Are you even on earth yourself or are you somewhere else? Heaven? Hell? I think that if you go to heaven you can see what is going on here. If you go to hell...I'm not sure. In Heaven the streets are made of clear gold, so maybe you can look down through the gold and see below you.
Where is Heaven, anyway? I was always taught that it is somewhere beyond the universe, but isn't the universe infinite? Some say that heaven is here, but in a different realm, a spirit realm, that we cannot see.
I was just thinking about this. Thomas let me borrow his dvd collection of Dead Like Me. It was a really cool show. It puts a new perspective on death and life. I was fascinated. Are there really Grim Reapers and Gravelings? It's a neat way to look at it, I guess. It's a lot easier to understand that than it is to understand the stuff I was taught at church.
