Because all Communists are evil. (Not to mention that being a Communist has nothing to do with this topic.)

On a more on-topic note, the whole heaven and hell thing is just used to keep people "in line." I don't think a large number of people can believe in "heaven" and not believe in the rest of Christianity. There is a lot tied to being a "good" person and pleasing god and so on. If we untied the afterlife from god it would be more believable.

Nobody truly knows what happens after death. If our minds do remain after we die then we will all be united together. I personally believe that the body is an illusion and we have yet to achieve true consciousness.

No matter what happens after death I think we are headed for something good, and perhaps better than life.

I find your views respectable. If more people thought like you, the world would be a much better place.
