When I was a child, my parents would take me to church religiously. I was raised as a Christian up until my teen years. My mother told me I was more than welcome to believe in any religion, as long as it was positive for myself and others. So with that in mind, I ended up taking a little bit of each religion with me. Each religion carries enlightening teachings, such as "The Golden Rule," in Christianity, and "karma," in Hinduism. As I grew older, I've decided not to label myself under a specific organized religion system, but I've learned to respect each individual and their beliefs. I still have questions and curiosity about matters such as the afterlife.
Is there life after death? Does the God from the Holy Bible really exist? Do we reincarnate according to karma? If we reincarnate, will I ascend as a spiritual being or descend into a lower being? Will I have any recollection of this life? Will I ever see my family again? Does hell exist and will I be tormented there for eternity?
The only people that have the answer to these sort of questions are the dead, so I came to the conclusion that as long as you strive to become a better person, stay humble, help those that are in need and have a good heart, then there's no reason to worry about death.
One of my favorite quotes from the bible is, "No guilt in life, no fear in death."
