After my grandfather died in February, I began questioning afterlife. My biggest question was “where do we go when we die?”. Because of this, I decided to do my research project around this topic. I researched Christianity, a Christian church, a Christian band’s song, an Atheist talk show, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Scientology, Wiccan, Satanism, and Secular Humanism to get an overall picture about what I, myself, believe about afterlife. During my research, I found that I really think it is important to believe in something, anything, to give a real meaning to life. To me, every religion/spiritual group has flaws within it. I think it is important to look within one’s self and one’s heart to find out what is important for that certain individual and believe accordingly. I personally think that we should focus on the here and now and work to better society as a whole. I also believe that there is life after death and that a higher being will judge us according to our heart and one’s self. Throughout by blogger site, you will read about all of the groups I listed above, their beliefs about afterlife, and my opinion about their beliefs. Enjoy, and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me through my link above.

For my artistic response, I chose to do a journal. Within this journal, I portrayed the different beliefs I researched through pictures and writing. The first page I did showed how Satanists, Secular Humanists, Wiccans, and Atheists believe that people cease to exist after death. The next page shows the Christian, Islam, and Judaism beliefs as going to another place. Another page shows the way Buddhists believe through reincarnation, rebirth, and then reaching Nirvana. Since Scientologists believe a different way about rebirth, I did a separate page portraying their beliefs. My last page shows two views from different Wiccan groups. This journal is an easy understandable approach to all the beliefs I researched.
