Right. You might not be able to pick your afterlife. Atheist materialists believe that you definitely can't. Except maybe for some kind of digital upload shenanigans maybe, but I don't see how that's an afterlife and not just a copy that is its own separate entity. Christians like me believe that you have a binary option for your afterlife. Buddhists and Hindus believe that you have a continuum of options. Bear in mind I mean specifically believing that you have optionality. Socrates for example was agnostic on what happens after death, but he never indicated, at least not that I recall reading in Plato, that he thought he had a choice. Rather he thought none of the possibilities were worse than capitulating to the court. |

But other Christians, obviously not like you, believe in more than a binary option for your afterlife.
This is one of the annoying thing about religions. Not all true Christians (even Scottish Christians) hold the same beliefs, even about something like heaven and hell.
