Messing with you? How is expressing my beliefs and worldview messing with people? Huh.

Why, I'm so glad you asked!
You see, most religions claim that there is life after death. This is not entirely incorrect, though taking it literally -as in heaven being a place somewhere above where dead people go - sounds ridiculous.
After death, the particles of our body become part of the soil, therefore becoming a part of nature/universe/god. And since the same goes for everyone who dies, so it is true that we join our deceased loved ones after death.
"But what about cremation?"
Why, that's another great question!
When your body is cremated, the gases go in the air, so it's all the same.
"How about heaven and hell?"
Wow, you're on fire today! Another great question!
Heaven and hell exist here on earth. Though religions claim that it is the reward or punishment for our actions after death, it's almost instantenous. If you do something wrong, you feel bad about it. If you do something good, you feel good about it. Heaven or hell are a state of mind.
I'm nuts
