Your article makes sense and explains it quite well without having to even mention any religious doctrine or dogma.. There are so many things that are common in all religions and spiritual practices. You do have a wonderful way of explaining things. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining this Bob. I think somewhere along the way of learning about the afterlife has lead me to have a brief understanding about this subject, but the way u explain it has clarified things, & is very much appreciated. I wish everyone could know & believe these wonderful truths. Once again, another great topic, & so very interesting. Thank you Bob!!!

Hi Shari, I know, I wish that too. For me, these understandings instill a sense of comfort and peace. The more I understand, the more peace I feel. In this article, it reminds me of something the Beatles told us many years ago: All you need is love.

Bob, I sure hope that your wise and sensible answers are reaching the overly devout. As for the beauties of “heaven”, it needs to offer something to compensate for the lack of hot dogs and French fries there.🤨

I love this article so much, Bob.

I have also thought this--even if your religion is partly wrong (which it sounds like all are at least partly wrong) being faithful to the religion you choose is a big deal (unless of course there are fearful or abusive aspects to it). So if a tenet of your religion is global cleanliness and your "church service" is in a park picking up trash every Thursday and you don't come without a good reason, you're not being faithful to a group with whom you've expressed commitment. So basically you need to treat your religion as you would a family member or as you've said, to give the same respect that we would to God. Or if, say, in the Catholic faith it is a requirement to go to confession at least once a year to receive communion, you need to do it if you've committed to that faith. Religions aren't pick and choose communities. They're relationships like any other. Anyway as I get older that's more how I see religion. I also make sure I see religion as being led by humans who are mistake-prone and strive for the "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" approach. Or another that I hear is "Don't leave, lead."

Your article makes so much sense and gives me hope and peace. Thank you.

Love the joyful photo, too!!
