[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far, there’s been little mention of the religious tropes so many of us were taught to believe.

What about pearly gates, meeting God, reunions with Grandma, sitting on a cloud playing a harp?

Surely  some of the people here aren’t expecting to just die.  What about God?[/quote]

I'm Christian and I think, and assume you know, that most of those visuals are metaphorical. I also think that meeting God isn't going to be like having a conversation. I think our consciousness after death must be fundamentally different.

But I also admit I'm scared we do just wink out. [/quote]

It sounds like the above is something you made up  and did not learn from your religion.

PS: I think there nothing to be scared of if we just "wink out."  It will be like before we were born.[/quote]

DP - there are actually Bible verses that support PPs belief

For eg., "Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known". 
1 Corinthians 13:9-13

In this passage, Paul is saying that our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and that we will eventually know fully, as God knows us. The hope of full revelation should encourage us to live faithfully and seek deeper understanding.

Bible verses that address consciousness after death include Luke 16:19–31, John 11:25, and 1 Corinthians 15:52. These verses suggest that believers will be conscious and present with God after death. It will likely be very different from our current embodied states - maybe less of a conscious transformation for those who seek to clothe themselves in spiritual robes of selfless love, patience, kindness, humility, compassion and gentleness in this life.

Those Christian bible verses seem very vivid explanation of after life.
I don’t take them as metaphors.[/quote]
