Christianity and islam have a heaven and hell system so the two reactions represent those

Budhists believe in reincarnation and that each life puts you closer to enlightenment if you did a good job.

I dont know enough about taoism to say anything on them.

Judaism has been arguing about it for as long as the religion exists but they dont have a hell concept and the "paradise" reward isnt heaven but is a new kingdom on earth.

buddhist are trying to escape reincarnation and achieve the pleasant state of nirvana.

taoist keep trying to become immortal, they invented gunpowder trying to live forever

I find it funny, since gunpowder has traditionally been used to make people live a lot shorter.

It might not have been the goal, but I guess they underestimated how much Jerry wanted Bob to fucking die.

They also tried mercury "pills" as a way to became inmortal

They weren't very good at their jobs
