life after death

HINDUS

  • Some would agree with this statement, such as Hindus and say that only the soul survives after death. They believe in reincarnation in that the soul after death will go in to another being to live their life again in a different physical body- their body dies and decays, but

    their soul(atman) moves on.

  • WEAK: because it is not just the soul that continues after death it is also the souls karma as this will determine where they are in the caste system.

JEWS

ORTHODOX → resurrection = messiah comes Daniel 12, heaven=gan eden and hell = gahemma.

REFORM → dualists → soul and body are separate, only soul lives in. about focusing on this life

CATHOLICS

  • eternal life

  • ressurection → st paul

  • purgatory - st paul

  • heaven/hell/judgemen→ parable

HUMANISTS

  • annihilation → as you soon as you die you stop existing

  • live through descendants and memories of others

ATHEISTS

  • some may believe in the supernatural and ghosts

  • some have had near-death experiences or believe in past lives
