OT There seems to be quite a lot of musing here as regards Heaven, Hell and the hereafter. FWIW these are my thoughts: Most religions found it worthwhile to promote the idea of a life hereafter. Both Christians and Moslems do so - in fact the WTC disaster may not have been possible if Islam had not included this concept. I believe humans are annuals not perennials. By this I mean that the 'hereafter' is in our children and their children. Our lives are perpetuated through the seeds we plant - not by some mysterious event that happens in the graveyard. Looking rationally there is not much difference between the Christian idea of pearly gates and everlasting bliss and the Moslem's idea of the martyr's reward - except for some tasty details. Other religions' ideas of the transmigration of souls seem equally quaint to me - although (with DNA mutations) perhaps more possible. To me, it is not surprising that Christianity, worldwide, has lost some 80-85% of its following. Its leadership was too frightened to accept and interpret scientific discovery. It is a pity because people need a religion that they can believe in and one which does not insult their intelligence.
