[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To each according to his faith (or something to that effect). I have a gut feeling each person will get the afterlife (or lack of thereof) he or she expects. [/quote]

I hadn't thought of it like this before, but the afterlife he or she expects. Hmm. That is something to think about![/quote]

I wouldn't waste to much time on it.  Think instead of other instances in life where just expecting something to happen actually caused it to happen.  Also, think about what that would mean on an individual basis --e.g., one person expects 72 virgins, another expects to be surrounded by angels sitting  clouds playing harps, another expects an eternity at the racetrack with winning bets, another expects to be with deceased relatives.  Is that what God(or some extraterrestrial force) is setting up for us?[/quote]

pp here. I'm thinking more basically, for those who believe in an afterlife there will be one and for those who expect nothingness, that's what will await. It makes sense to me.[/quote]

Where in any holy book are 72 virgins mentioned. Citation please.[/quote]

Where has anyone on this board said that 72 virgins are mentioned in a holy book?[/quote]
