Life after Death

The concept of “Life after Death” plays an important role in every religion of this modern civilization though in varying shapes and colours.

Every religion tries to answer this mysterious question in its own version. And most of them awards the good and punishes the evil. Basically this concept tries providing deterrence against doing things that is not prescribed in their particular religion. In short, it’s a carrot and stick approach to make humans stick to the basic tenets of the religion.

Suppose that there is no life after death.

What would happen to people who have actually never bothered about humanity? They have never done a good in their entire life, though they might have been the most successful people.

What would happen to people who have cheated, looted, and murdered etc., amassed wealth and power to lead a comfortable life?

What would happen to people who had led a life that was dedicated to the making this society wonderful, but led a life in penury and misery?

What would happen to people who had followed tenets of their religion the entire life and did whatever they interpreted as righteous, though it meant killing and rioting?

Suppose that there is life after death.

Do we have souls as it is believed?

Will there be a Judgement Day? And, if there is indeed a Judgement Day then there is God. And if there is God, which religion has the true God?
