I'm not talking about your own vision of the afterlife.  I was referring to the extremely common Christian view that after death, we will all be united in Heaven, able to see our deceased loved ones and talk to long-lost friends.  Under this belief of an afterlife, it makes no real sense to me to be sad for a friend if they've truly gone to a better place and we'll eventually be able to see them again.  :shrug2:

I do not entertain fantasies that are just wish-fulfillment scenarios. My speculations are just that, speculations - NOT "visions"of how it is. Imaginations of this sort are as absurd as they are puerile wish-fulfillments. They are neither biblical, or Christian. They comprise 'popular religion,' and illustrate just how childish much of humanity still is. I am not exempting myself, btw. I still say "Hi Ben," when I mow the lawn around my dog's grave. :shrug:
