One of the things I often ask religious folks about is what they expect in the afterlife.
Pretty much uniformly they expect to see their loved ones again. Which is nice. But their theories tend to fall apart a bit when you press them on the details.
For example, what age are you in "heaven"?
Which loved ones do you get to meet?
If Fred West loved his kids, do they have to spend eternity in his company, even if they hated him?
What if I spend 20 years married to one woman, she dies, then I spend another 20 years married to another. Do I get to live with both of them when I die? What if they didn't get on?
What if my parents had a kid that died before me and my sister were born? Do I have to spend eternity as the middle child with some kid I never even met? Is the dead kid doomed to knock about heaven as a two-year old forever?
