Where Do We Go After Death?

By Tammie Caldwell


Some say its an equalizer some call it the ripper while others do not even have words to talk about it. Death is a situation that most people do not want to face as little is known to where do we go after death. Its a condition that most people would rather do without since its a world very few people know about. The departure of a loved one can be the most traumatic event one will ever go through it can also be the most relieving task one will ever experience. This will be all due to the occurrences one had to go through before dying.

In old Egypt they had a society ruled by kings known as pharaohs and the belief at that time was not similar to what modern day Egypt believes in. They believed that they whenever a ruler at that time died his or her servants had to be buried with them. This was because at that time they believed that the servants will aid them in service in the afterlife as they are still royals even in the afterlife

In the east and central Africa in a kingdom known as Buganda they had a kingship way of leadership which they believed worked for them. Their form of leadership proclaimed all royals from their kings to their servants all royal but they varied in class. Upon dying of one of the royals they were prepared for an afterlife and their jaw bones were removed and preserved since they were proclaimed to be royals.

The Hindu has a different totally different view in relation to death as compared to the earlier mentioned groups. They believed that its not the end of life and life in itself is basically a continuation of someone elses life. They believed that after one dies, the person will be born in another state in another body. To them, this is just a step but the individual soul will be reborn in another state or body.

The Christians on the other hand have a different way of seeing things. They have a believe system which has a supreme GOD that judges ones deeds. Thus upon the death of one Christian they have to undergo a judgment process and ones deeds determine whether they have a happy life in heaven or they suffer eternal fire in hell for their not noble deeds they did while on earth. They believe in a resurrection when their savior Jesus Christ comes back to save them.

The atheists have a totally different perspective of viewing the matter of death. To them its all about logic, they do not believe in life with a more superior being than them. They do not believe in fate. To them, its more about the end. It is the final verdict for all creatures as they cannot be of any other use without the life they had.

The Muslims on the other hand believe that life is more of a preparation for a better place. The trials they have to undergo make them better and more suitable for the afterlife which they believe awaits them with pleasantries.

This in itself is a topic which no single human being can fully understand it, it is a state that nobody wants to go to as there virtually exists no evidence of what happens there.
