Tell me, what do you believe happens after the death of the body?

"The soul without the body can do nothing, whether good or evil. The vision which some see concerning those things that are yonder are shown to them by God as a dispensation for their profit. Just as the lyre remains useless and silent if there is no one to play, so the soul and body, when they are separated, can do nothing." +Athanasius the Great

In other words, we are dead! The soul is the anima, the "quickener", of the body, that gives it life; it takes both to make a human being. When they separate the being dies. It is an unnatural state. We become disfunctional, like a hammer without a handle.

Kosta, I know what we believe. I wondered what FK believes! :)
