After Care.

Some people believe we have will over the afterlife. Others believe there's nothing we can do to change what happens when we die. The thing I don't understand is that almost all religious believers have this sort of semi-conscious belief that the afterlife is going to make sense. That it will follow a more human set of rules rather than a natural set of rules. After being born into this world where absolutely nothing makes sense and there's endless discovery and pain and misery and etc. etc... Why don't we learn from that? If we're going to be born into a new life, why is it suddenly so controlled? All these pictures of Heaven and Hell show controlled places run by beings, and the afterlife is more of a consequence than a continuation. I'd be a lot less surprised if the afterlife was some breath of ash we're sworn into after death. Some other reality where people have to figure everything out again and where things just plain make no sense without the infinite recurrance of thought, and where there is no absolute yes or no.
