I was just flexing my head around the idea of where our sight goes when we die. Being an atheist, I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. Besides, why should animals be denied the right to a mortal soul, huh? But that's beside the point.
I mean, we die. That extinguishes our sight. Do we then lose our past experiences and mix with other soul matter and sort of start another life? Can anyone besides me imagine dying, losing sight, and regaining it in another body with no prior knowledge or conscious thought, possibly several days later? I know it is of course impossible to track that, but that's just a bit of musing.
And in that same train of thought, if EVERY 'soul' that leaves its body goes to Heaven or Hell, according to Christianity, where are souls 'made?' I suppose it comes from a fraction of your parents', and their parents', and so on, etc. I must have missed that with all the hubbub with which direction we'll be going.
And if we die and go in one direction, are we really going to retain our consciousness where we end up, or is it locked into the Earth where we lie?
This is, of course, assuming that everyone has a soul and you can't really sell them. Which, as we all came to understand following Salem, we can't.
As I understand it, there's a really big hall in Heaven where all the souls are kept. And when the hall runs out of souls, that's when rapture kicks off. Or atleast, that's what a crappy 80s movie told me, and they'd never lie to me, right?
