We go through the same process in life, having being born, grow up, grow old and then facing death either through old age or disease. The real question is "What happens to us when we die?"
Usually this question slip through our minds once in a while. Most people do especially when they themselves face a situation in which they face death. Many though think about that question when their loved ones die. Another famous question is "Will we ever see them again?"
Many religion believe either in heaven or hell. Many too, believe that they will be join their loved ones again on the other side. How ever, Hell does seem like an unlikely place to rejoice in seeing your loved ones.
Hell, (my personal opinion) does not exist. If you believe that God the Almighty is merciful, loving and especially forgiving, why does he send us to Hell for the deeds that we have made? It seems unlikely that a father would send his own child to suffer for a long time for things that can be taught and mend. If you believe that God is our father, He wouldn't do such a thing like sending us, his children into an eternity of fiery furnace.
Death, however, isn't an image in which that it is scary. To many, it seems to be a place of solitude and silence, alone in the deep, cold earth. There is another point of view, in which death can be treated as a time in which we sleep for a long time, only to be resurrected in time. Resurrected to a time and place that would be known to no suffering, a Paradise.
This belief, is taken from a Jehovah's Witness point of view. This point though, no matter how argued, seems more realistic than being in Heaven or Hell. Either way, we humans do have a tendency to doubt about what is happening to our body, our life, our existence, our memory. We want to be remembered, and we are, being watched by the heavenly stars from above.

every religion has a point to be made, ive said that a thousand times. even jahovahs witnesses, the idea of being resurrected is accurate and reasonable enough, but the religion that is formed around that belief is an extreme and full of 'life laws' wich destroy individual thought.
when it comes to the christian god and hell, you gotta understand the human element. when the devil and hell were first mentioned, it was a time of relgious war and a time where the priests were most in power. the manipulation of ideas for the sake of government and prosperity means that no religion can be trusted to its full extent. so i respect that you are able to hold your own beliefs, again a good blog hun :)
