Poll question: Religion II: Do you believe in an afterlife?
Full disclosure: Me? Choice 8, with a tiny bit of Choice 9.

2. I voted reincarnation, but
I think decoposition is an aspect of recycling, which in turn is a kind of reincarnation.

3. No
And I have no problem with that. If people spent half the time living their lives that they spend worrying about what happens after their life is over, the world would be a much happier place. IMO.

5. heaven; yes, hell; no
Somehow, I think that Hell is against the teachings of Jesus.

6. Yes, seriously, I do...I voted "other."
I think we are reincarnated......

And that there might be heavsen, or something like that, where our souls go when we no longer want to be alive on earth...

I really don't believe in hell as an afterlife...

I feel that the only hell is the one we create right here for ourselves.

8. I'm still not sure I believe in this one
This is a test life.
If this were a real life you would have been given further instructions.

9. Um...can I change my vote?
I said 'no', based on empirical evidence.
But I don't really 'know'.
I seriously doubt that I'll be pleasantly surprised.

13. Sure. I practically never vote on my own polls, so I'll throw in an
"I don't know" for you. If we're all honest, that's got to be the only real answer.

11. no, have you ever met a ghost?
if you have, you quickly learn that the most important part of the person (their brain, their spirit, and their ability to be anything except a robot) is gone forever

12. I used to think
that I knew the answer .. that there is a heaven and hell and I believed it. Now, ... I don't know. Honest answer.
