What do you think happens when we die?

We go to heaven, hell, or purgatory.

I'm going to be inside a urn...
About me: I have a strong dislike of religion and the current social justice narrative. Used to be a SSPX-like Catholic, but not anymore. And no, my nation does not represent my real views...most of the time.
Why I'm no longer a Socialist.
My pronouns: That asshole from /pol/, bigot, misogynist, transphobe, racist
And no, my flag is NOT used for RPing :)
Finally, fuck your trigger warnings.

Authoritarian leftist as a means to a libertarian socialist end. Civic nationalist and American patriot. Democracy is non-negotiable. Uniting humanity, fixing our planet and venturing out into the stars is the overarching goal. Jaded and broken yet I persist.

I picked the ones that seemed most common.

For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself.

Technically, no one knows. We're not dead.

So, please, elaborate. How do you know the Roman Catholic afterlife is the real one?

I hope that it's reincarnation, hence why I voted it.
Specifically, I hope that what happens post mortem is that we get reincarnated as any sapient being in any alternate universe. NEVER the same universe as this one, and not necessarily as a human.

To be honest, my opinion on this topic switches constantly.
