Poll question: Poll: What you hope happens to your spirit/soul after death?

[CanuckAmok]

1. licensed by my relatives to dance with Paula Abdul for PepsiCo.

Finally, a purpose.

[progmom]

2. what is a "personal heaven"?

[ohiosmith]

15. Your idea of paradise.

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. what's this soul thing you speak of?

[ohiosmith]

16. :)

The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state

[BigMcLargehuge]

17. Ahhhh

I think it goes to live with either Santa Claus and toil for eternity on the toy line (if you've been good) or to clean up Easter Bunny shit (if you haven't).

4. Flawed poll. I needed two choices

I want to say: be reincarnated as another human being or be reincarnated as another animal species. The two are not mutually exclusive you know!

[Meatwad]

5. To come back as some hot woman's panties?

:shrug:

[Ikonoklast]

12. But what if you had bad karma?

Would you be Rush Limpballs' tighty whities?

14. ...

6. Some will get to meet this fine creature:

[Mutley]

7. The elements that make up my body will be recycled back into the universe

and will eventually help to create new stars and planets.

8. You get 74 versions

versions of what I am not sure but that is what my car told me.

[Shell Beau]

9. In Heaven with all my loved ones and God!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I want my soul to return for another crack at this life.......

I believe I've been here before, and there are things that I need to do before I'm ready to be one with God or whatever you call it......

I still have things to learn on this earth, and pleasures to experience, and things to teach as well.....

I want to remember where I've been as well..and who I knew, and why I knew them...so I can work out my difficulties.....

:kick:

11. I'm going to be a-haunting whoever is unfortunate enough to be around me.

Bleeding walls and psychoknesis are going to be child's play to the hell I unleash on the world in my post mortem state.

or i'm just going to not do anything, which is likely.

[Rob H.]

13. Reminds me of an episode of "Frasier"

Niles and Frasier are talking about the afterlife and Niles says, "I've always liked the thought of meeting the great people of history. But then I think, what if it's like high school and none of the really cool dead people want to talk to me?"

:P

18. Frisbetarian belief: Your soul goes onto the roof and stays there

maybe until the next wind storm ...

19. What I would like and what I believe are two different things

I would very much like it if I could go wherever my beloved dog Dixie is. I have so many dead friends and relatives but more than any of them, I'd like to see Dixie again.

However, what I believe is that I will go into oblivion, and that I will no more be conscious of what and where I am than I was before I was born. I don't really believe in a soul or spirit that lives on - I think we just die.

I sure would love to see Dix again, though. ~sigh~

[MrSlayer]

20. Well I hope that I would move to another world full of magic and dragons.

But I know that nothing at all is going to happen. Lights out, see ya.

[AlienGirl]

23. How do you know?

[MrSlayer]

26. Rationality.

Mythology isn't real.

[mvd]

21. Hmmm.. I think there's an afterlife, but it's hard to tell

My Christian faith says there's a heaven and hell, but I think hell might actually be a distance from God for eternity. I believe that we are reunited with family and friends and spend a peaceful spiritual existence in the afterlife, but sometimes reincarnation makes sense, too. It's really the great mystery. :-)

[AlienGirl]

22. Oblivion or a personal heaven would both be dandy, if possible

However, I'm pretty sure those are not possibilities; I think I will no doubt reincarnate again. If I really luck out I'll be born rich and beautiful and able to sing, but it is far more likely I'll be born into poverty (most people are, after all).

I don't think any law of karma will determine the starting conditions of my life, but I do think strong emotional ties will lead me to find my friends again (for a new round of practical jokes).

24. I would like to see my old cat Wally again. (Sniff)

That would be nice. Failing that, I'd go with the hot woman's panty idea.

[Der Blaue Engel]

25. To rejoin the divine/be reabsorbed into the elements

I think of them as the same thing...that all life, all elements, are interconnected and divine, so the simple biological process of decay equates to transmogrification into the divine.

Although I wouldn't mind being some kind of spirit guide, if that turns out to be an option.
