Death is simple. You die, decay and your atoms are recycled back into the system. Like everything in existence (on a universal scale). Honestly, imo, religion is a joke. I think it is a primitive quality of explaining things(in a humanly manner of understanding) that were just not understood. Which would explain why there are so many religions. Seems like each group of people had there own way of explaining things....in very different ways. For example a tsunami would be a sign from the god or gods. When it was probably just an earth quake in the ocean half away around the world. So they did not feel the quake but all of the sudden gigantic wave destroys their city. They would then relate that to something "bad" that recently happened in their personal society and say the god(s) are punishing them. When it is just natural Earthly cycles. Humans are always trying to understand things because it makes us feel secure. For some reason humans feel we serve a purpose. That life is special. It's just natural phenomena(to us). Having life is no more special than having a universe in general. I think the existence of the universe in general is far more crazy than life itself.
But then again, maybe we are just an alien ant farm. There really isn't a way to know. Maybe the universe itself was created by some super intelligent "being" that we can not possibly fathom in a lab somewhere.(sounds a lot like God now doesn't it). So I just ride it out and experience it till I die. Try to do good and be peaceful. I often think that what if we did have all the answers....would it make a difference? Would life suck then? If we knew there was afterlife would it change your "current" life?
