Theocracy??

Ah you mean like EVERY country in Europe??

As to life after death
it exists
it has to

A Human being consists of a lump of meat a pile of bones some fluids and an electrical charge
The matter of course continues to exist in some form (you can't destroy matter merely change its state)
The Electrical charge eventually fades

but the bit thats you
your Animus your soul your spirit call it what you will
is as eternal as the cosmos itself

Because its thought
the one thing that actually Can travel faster than light
