You never bothered to even reference your sources so for all I know you’re getting your information from the movie Gladiator, I’ll take the word of the historical figures on this one over yours. I also find it rather amusing that you object to using Christian sources but you seem to have no problem using anti-Christen sources, a little bit of special pleading sprinkled on top.
I'm pretty sure the Gladiator would be considered an authoritative source. I've seen it twice and enjoyed it both times. Apparently the afterlife is just behind a thin veil which you can only enter after you die. Your loved ones will be waiting for you there and the countryside looks just like what you had on earth. (I'm not sure if you'll be able to trade up or not.) And if your eye (or worse) gets poked out in this life it will indeed be waiting up in heaven with your wife.
Why? What kind of rot are they teaching against the Gladiator in seminary now?
