Last Seen...In the Afterlife

Men in Gorilla Suits

We've talked about death and other things surrounding this topic, but never focused solely on the afterlife. Now we have...specifically, these points:

• When was the first time you were introduced to the concept of the afterlife?
• Which afterlife was it?
• Do you believe in the afterlife? Why or why not?
• Why do you think people take comfort in the idea of life after death?
• Do you think that idea is comforting?
• Have you ever had a near-death experience?
• Which would be the best (fictional or religious, which you could argue are in the same category) afterlife?
• The worst?
• What do you think will happen after you die?
• What’s the future of the afterlife?
