This is a faith statement not based in objective fact. Materialism has this to say about the dead; other religions express their beliefs differently.

- mikeash 7y agoObjective fact has provided a ton of evidence for materialism and very little for any alternative.
- evgen 7y agoThis is not a statement of faith, it is a statement of law. Once you are dead you have no rights and any possessions, claims, and liabilities pass to that legal fiction we call your estate. Perhaps there is some non-Western culture that handles things differently, but other than the estate being more of a familial construct rather than a legal one in some instances I am not aware of any deviations from this of any significance and look forward to being shown a counter-example.
