What Happens After We Die?

I think it’s 2 things. We either all share the same fate or we each get our own bubble of reality in “life after death”. If it’s the first, then only one religion would be right or the non-supernatural position. In the ‘same fate’ ‘religious scenario’, we can’t all be right but who is willingly to admit they may be wrong? If it’s just 1 religion that is ‘the true religion’ then you can pretty much figure out what would happen at their place of worship, scriptures etc. In the ‘bubble of reality’ ‘religious scenario’ each religion would be “technically correct” & we each would get what we envisioned. I guess even the atheists, agnostics, secular humanists etc would get theirs. If that’s the case though, a higher being/beings would be required to administer these religious fates or to give each believer what they hoped for in those scenarios. Lastly, in the ‘non-supernatural scenario’, no higher being(s) is required. According to Occam’s Razor, the simpler explanation is usually the correct one due to making fewer assumptions. So given that and the fact that the universe & planet existed without us for a very long time. Coupled with the fact that the world (other people’s lives) can & pretty much does exist without you or I; ‘it keeps spinning’. I’d say the reality of what happens after we die is most likely similar to how it was before we were brought into this world. Although, I wish it could be that we get re-spawned to different galaxies/planets or universes. That way we could travel these long astronomical distances without all the hassle! 🙂
