What Will Happen To Me After I Die

No matter where you live or where you grew up, everyone has heard of religion. If you didn’t grow up in a religious environment you will still find a way to grasp some sort of belief, whether it is one you research, or one you construct yourself. Everyone has a way of belief that helps them cope with unanswerable questions and unexplainable events. The one question that we will never be able to solve or answer is “what will happen to me after I die”. This is one of the questions asked in most religions, most preach of heaven or a paradise after death; this concept of being reborn almost. With death, no one knows for sure about what awaits us on the other side of life, some preach of an eternal life in paradise or purgatory, some preach that …show more content…
With these donations, they could do anything as complex as digging wells in Africa, or as something simple as changing a light bulb. If the church is asking for donations just for some extra equipment or a new sound system, that’s when they should draw the line, because you don’t need a bunch of fancy technology to worship whatever deities you believe in. The idea of church should be simple and subtle, but constructive and informative at the same time.

I get disgusted when I see these churches that are the sizes of small stadiums, because I can almost one hundred percent guarantee you that they have a whole load of gadgets and equipment inside them, that is almost as expensive as the building …show more content…

That’s like me holding a meeting and asking everyone that showed up for money, just so I could get more people to show up next time, and get equipment to make my job easier for me. The main point that I’m trying to get at here is that you should save and spend your money wisely. Donating your money to a large church that uses it for its own benefit is not only foolish, but also kind of condescending.

I know that it is a very bold claim, but I do believe that is the reason behind some people donating. Money shouldn’t be used as a tool to look good, even if you are donating it to a good cause. You don’t need to donate to charities and foundations to be seen as a better person. Show that you are a thoughtful individual by doing your own good deeds, not just mindlessly giving away money as a way of looking
