[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly don’t mean any disrespect, but this thread makes me even more confused. Several (like the poster above) say with authority heaven/afterlife is a Jewish thing, while others (like the poster just before that, in a somewhat disparaging tone) insist it is not and that is a main difference with Christianity. For this non-Jew, the lack of consensus is mind boggling.[/quote] It is because, as a few people have noted, the afterlife is sort of an afterthought in a lot of Jewish theological discussion, at least by comparison with Christian theology (or at least what I know about it). So if you’re used to thinking heaven or hell are big concerns for the living, it makes sense that the lack of consensus on what happens after you die is weird. If you’re Jewish, it’s not particularly surprising at all. [/quote]
