WHY THERE CAN'T BE LIFE AFTER DEATH!

We sometimes hear comments such as, ”once I die, I’ll join my mother in life after death.” Here, the speaker, probably a grown-up man, envisions a motherly, old woman more or less as he last saw in this world. On the other hand, we all wish to appear young and healthy in life after death. For the mother to appear old and remain such to eternity would be the farthest from a ”heavenly life” in life after death. If, on the other hand, the mother has appeared young, that would create even more difficulties. Having appeared as a young woman she would be more interested in spending her time with young men. To have a grown up man as a son would not go hand in hand with this situation. Same goes true for the grown up son, now being ignored by the young mother who hardly has time for him.

How would a child who died of a disease to appear in life after death? As a child? We are not to age in life after death, as it is to be eternal life. Then, for the child to remain as a child to eternity would be a life of hardship, to have no share of the adult world and to be never taken seriously by them. If, on the other hand, the child has appeared as an adult, would he be able to interact with other adults? He never had a chance in this world to go through the process of growing up with others. Would he like his new adult face he never had?

Imagine a mother who has appeared in Heaven in life after death, while her ”sinner” son is being punished in Hell. She would probably feel like being in hell, even if she is actually in heaven.

Some, on the other hand, argue that life after death is in a form and substance that is beyond our comprehension: a non-physical form. The counter-argument is that in this life everything is physical. We desire to have babies, for example, mainly because they look cute. We even fall in love and marry, at least initially, because of the appearance of the other person. Food is physical. Same goes for sex and enjoying a scenery and so on.
So, to appear in a non-physical form in life after death, with no appearances or beauty to enjoy, no food to eat, no sex, no laughter of children around, no duties of parenthood to keep us entertained, and instead all be replaced by a new, foreign, non-physical form, it would be as if some other beings went to life after death in our place, and not us. Life after death becomes irrelevant
