Is there an afterlife? That is a question for which religions have been created and wars waged. Yet, a powerful word like “afterlife” seems to be at the forefront of everyday conversation. I don’t know if there is an afterlife. To me life is about choice and in many ways choice parallels death. For example, if I choose to regularly eat fast food, my choice of death would probably be something slow, like diabetes or heart disease. Lung cancer if I smoked. If I choose to live a healthy life, my death would most likely be something better than fatty or wheezy. Can choice parallel the afterlife? Can the human soul, if we have a soul, be polluted in the same way that fast food pollutes one’s arteries? If a person lies, steals, and cheats, does this have the same affect on the soul/afterlife that smoking has on the lungs?

I would like to die from sheer exhaustion while performing the obstructionist tactic of a FILABUSTER during a U.S. legislative assembly. The agenda I would be obstructing… The increase of student loan interest rates.

It doesn’t matter what people believe. Whatever happens will happen regardless of my religion. Which kinda sucks - especially if you’ve a few things you want to do.

I want my heart to go out at a ripe old age:
while I am in a hottub full of jello while having sex with at least 15 or 20 young, nubile, naked, lesbian coeds…
right as I orgasm (before my heart explodes), I wish to be sat on by a dancing elephant and a 16 piece orchestra, and my remains thus shipped off to the Vatican to await my canonization by the worlds first black pope.
barring the ability to die this way, I wish to live forever.
