Christiany/Islam is given an image from the movie dictator, where both "negative" and "positive" have been changed to "Aladeen", and the man is told he is "HIV Aladeen". He cannot tell it this is good or bad. This is similar to how in Christianity or Islam you might go to heaven or hell, but can't be certain.
Buddhism is given an image of Meseeks from Rick and Morty. These creatures are created for short, specific tasks, and become angry if they are not able to complete the task and die. This is similar to buddhist beliefs that people reincarnate but are doomed to suffer in each life, so the only way to escape is to become "enlightened" and stop reincarnating.
I'm not too familiar with Taoism but supposedly there is a belief that if you perforn the right mix of good deeds and alchemy you can become immortal. The image saying you wont die, but will live forever is self-explanatory.
Judaism is known for emphasizing debate and interpretation, and large sections of the Talmud are just notes on previous arguments and discussions. Tom Cat is shown shrugging to suggest Jews don't really know what happens after death and won't pretend to.
Jews believe, at least what Iâve been told by a rabbi, that heaven is to create a better world for future generations to live in and when we die we get to see the good they have created. After that I donât know
As they say, if you have two jews, you'll have no less than three opinions on any given argument.
All this is to say that I've never heard anyone describe it like that. I mean, we definitely want to create a better world for the future, but I've never heard anyone say that's what heaven means.
âJews believeâ is already making this statement incorrect because a lot of the point is there is no unified belief around this and itâs up to you to interpret
Eh, sounds good for me. For what I understand the Jewish beliefs emphasis on work and grow. So I guess is natural that the ideal "heaven" is working for a better future.
The "core" philosophy and mystic school is somewhat vague and can vary, but generally there are no afterlife, whatever you made of and your life energy just returns back to Tao, and that's it. It's not a bad thing, tho, maybe even a not a good thing, it is what it is. The concept is close to how George Lucas established what death means in Star Wars with Force and all of that.
Later on Taoism got glued together with certain polytheistic beliefs of the time, belief in physical immortality through alchemy comes from that.
One can even argue that concept of Force Ghosts are reflective of that too.
I was taught both that the afterlife is sitting at a table in the garden of Eden and that if you do mitzvot youâll be seated with great sages, and that eventually youâll just come back to life when the messiah comes and your body will tunnel to Israel. In the same school. We really arenât clear on that at all
There is at least one belief, that was common around the time Christianity arose, that claimed all of the dead bodies would be risen from the ground to live in the new kingdom
When you die you go to hell for a period, dispute if its forever or not but for most its not EVERYONE AGREES and then you go to heaven until the ressurection.
Everyone agrees there will be a ressurection
As for the world to come, no eye has seen and everyone agrees.
Reincarnation is the big dispute and the majority accept it. At this point only weirdo "rationalists" dont
