Death is the inevitable thing that will happen to all of us. Whether you have done good things or bad, this dark blind spot in our society could be our end of life, or will it? In today’s society there are many religious beliefs about this thing called “death”. Most of these religions have different perspectives of the afterlife and what happens to you when you have “crossed over”. Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism all have some similarities in their beliefs but their perspectives on the afterlife are all different.
“Our lord and savior, Jesus Christ,” has always been the main symbol of the Christian religion. The afterlife is a big part of the Christianity belief ever since Jesus was resurrected from his death. The majority of Christians do believe that there is an afterlife, “heaven, and hell”. The Bible refers that if you let go of your regrets and sins to God, or Jesus Christ before you die you will live an eternity of salvation in heaven. Another belief is that if you live a life full of sins you will live an afterlife of eternal damnation in hell. Some Christians are very strong and true to this belief of the afterlife and mainly try to avoid a life of sins. The main symbols of “heaven and hell” are the angels and God, and the demons and the devil for hell. There are many references to the angels and demons, for example in some of the old Looney Toon episodes they have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. In society Christianity is the most popular religion today, which makes up a big percentage in our world.
