Write about your vision of the afterlife, if you believe in one. If you don’t believe in one, write about what happens after we die or, if you prefer, write about your vision of what the afterlife should be.

I think that there is no Hell, or at least not in the way Christians characterize it. How could there be we already live in a world that is less than ideal and certainly not fair or just. How could life be any worse than it is now after we die. It seems unfair to banish someone to a place where there is poverty, war, and crime; then expect that person to be a saint. If they don't act according to a very strict set of rules they go to a place worse than they already live. I think that people die and at least go on to live a better life than the one they have now. I think the after life should be fair not equal but fair. Each person would have their needs and desires met. I don't really have an idea of what that would mean or how it would play out but it at least would be better than the world we live in now. A world free of poverty, crime, war and famine. A perfect world that is free from the ills our current world suffers from.
