I don't think I believe in an eternal existence, so maybe the idea is somewhat closer to a notion of reincarnation, in that there is a cycle of transformation from death to renewal.

Pretend for a second nothing on the afterlife was written about in old books. All of humanity was starting fresh on the topic using today's tools, knowledge and methodologies. Nothing whatsoever points to reincarnation, heaven, hell, etc. These are silly fairytales. No reputable person would be able to support these claims. They're truly just made up nothings.
It's crazy seeing some of the things our peers on this site believe. I'm disheartened. You die, decompose and that's it. Just like a tree, a dandelion, a mosquito, a dog. You're no better than any of them. That's a fact. Reincarnation, judgement, heaven...it's childish malarkey. Come on guys.
