Life after death

Imagine someone who is an asshole: selfish, mean, false. At the end of his life, he donates money to charity and expects to be warmly welcomed into the kingdom of heaven when he dies in the same way he expects to be warmly welcomed to a luxury nightclub, just because he is rich.

How can you expect to get good grades if you don't study? If you are a Hindu, how can you expect to get a decent reincarnation if you have been an asshole here in this life?

Maybe it is irrelevant how you live your life. Maybe life isn't a school. Maybe all people go to heaven when they die. Maybe all your deceased relatives in the spirit world will be happy to see you again. Maybe there is no life after death. Who knows?
