afterlife

whenever i got yelled at for doing something i hadn't done, and my parents didn't believe me, i thought they would be sorry when they got to heaven and found out the truth. i thought you would review your entire life in some form before going on your way. i think some teacher planted that idea in my brain.

I used to believe that your soul was a millimeter thick, right under your skin, and looked exactly like you

Growing up in a Christian home (and still a Christian now) I was told in church (and on Simpsons amd other TV shows) that when you go to Heaven, you can do whatever you want. I used to think it would be great, because all my favourite TV shows would be on video, and I could watch tem all I wanted. Including epsides that never existed on Earth. Which meant I'd have an endless supply. I found myself thinking about this today (at the age of 19). I'd like to update this belief to be DVD, not video.

I also used to picture that God must use a computer, so that he can keep track of everyone's lives, make natural disasters occur and stuff like that. I think if I were to picture this today, His computer would be a whole lot better than it was when I was 5 or whenever I pictured it!

I wasn't raised in a relgious household, so I only had vauge conceptions of heaven and hell. I thought that Heaven and Hell were right next to each other in the clouds.

I used to believe that there was this place called StrawberryLand. It was like a Heaven Me and my imaginary friend Maple Syrup thought we'd go there after we'd die. We could ride roller coasters and eat nothing but strawberries once we arrived.

I used to think that heaven was something of a Chuckie Cheese's, and you started out with 1 million tokens, and for each sin you commited, you lost a token, and each good thing, you gained one.

There was a concrete bottom to the sandbox at my elementary school. I believed Hell was just underneath.

When I learned in church about limbo, I thought that all the angles had to limbo all day long, and if they were bad at it, they went to Hell.

When i was younger, i imagened when you died you would take some of your favorite toys, and live in a mini playhouse in a big church. hey, it sounded good to me!

When I was really young. Before I understood what religions were about. I thought it'd be very frustrating that after you die again. You actually become reborn. But I didn't like that concept because. you'd have to relearn everything that you'd learn from your previous life.

Like refining your motor skills, walking, and I still used to trip when I walked. Writing, learning, it just seemed so boring. Why go back through all of that again when you learned it the first time.

I still don't know what to think.

Not so sure I'd do it again

When I was little,I used to believe that when a person died,If they were good,they'd get wings and,if they were bad,they'd grow horns

I used to believe that if you said hell 50 times you went to hell

I used to think that heaven looked like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory with lollipops growing up from the ground.

I used to think that if people had been bad before they died they would be reincarnated as an ant, and if you had been good you would be reincarnated as a lion/tiger

My parents are Atheists, but my grandparents are Catholic. One day when I was little my grandma said something about heaven so I asked my dad what it was. He told me that heaven was a big bar in the sky. I believed for several years that I could visit that bar when I grew up.

When I was younger I believed that heaven was just above the clouds and and when you died you would watch everything that the other people were doing and laugh at them!!~!!

As long as I can think back, I have always imagined souls as transparently green, slightly fluorescent tennis bats on the inside of our bodies. I also imagined god as an old man made from the same material, who could suddenly appear everywhere.

When I was young i tought that when anyone died they would have to choose an animal to come back to earth as. I wanted to be a butterfly but then thought they don't live long enough

When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I saw a film with my sister about a guy who died and went up to heaven, where there was a queue to get sprayed with something that erased your memory of the past. In the film, the guy was so upset to have died, he bypassed the queue and got sent straight back to earth, where he was born again as a baby and grew up remembering his previous life. 18 years on he was still tormented by these memories and sought out his 'widow', who still left biscuits by his photo every night, and tried to convince her he was her husband.

The film really bothered me and for a while I struggled with the possibility, upon hearing someone we knew had died, that they were coming back to earth, and worse still, would hold all their memories and try and rejoin their former life.
