Does an ant have an afterlife?

If not then why? Because life is life right? No matter how small or big, and surely if God or any kind of God/higher being for that matter created life on this earth surely the all mighty one would not discriminate against ants and other seemingly less significant forms of life?

Personally I think the probability of something happening after you die is very low, I mean it could? Don't get me wrong, but down inside me, and i'm sure many others I believe the chances of something, even the smallest of things to happen to our... soul? Maybe is very small. I mean lets be fucking realistically honest here. But it's nice to believe, it's nice to think that after we die something might actually happen to us, our souls. The thought of our lifeless dead body left to rot is just a bit boring? Dusturbing? Horrific? (if you havn't accepted the notion of death already). And me personally? It would be cool if I floated off into the sky and stood outside the white pearly gates waiting to be judged whether or not i deserve to enter heaven. That would be awesome.

But my main point is this, we all live on this beautiful planet where we can eat great food, experience amazing sex, feel those amazing complex feelings we call 'love' and enjoy the pleasures of being in relationships. And yet we seem have implanted within ourselves this mindset that when we die, beyond this life is a better one, a better life then this. We have people blowing themselves up thinking when they die something better will come and is awaiting us all. People going churches to pray, choosing to believe in ridiculous ideologies, religions and beliefs to book a pass into the white pearly gates or whatever.
I see this as pure selfishness and greed to be frank, you could easily look at it that way in the very least. People can't and won't accept this life? This world? It's not enough, which understandable, but surely that kind of negative mindset is a bad thing? Surely acceptance is the best way to be free and enjoy ourselves? On the flipside if your expecting something to happen in your final moments and it turns out i'm right and nothing does, then at least you won't experience that feeling lol.
And if this universe is a smart and green one and our souls get recycled then i would have any hopes of being a human again...
Not if we can't appreciate that this is it.

Religion should be a great way to prevent evil people doing evil things...

... at least it sounded good on paper that is.
But that's not true.


I'm open minded and wanna question religion, i also want to be proved wrong. Thinking of joining a couple of churches to do some investigative work and figure shit out but i don't how that would look on the churches, people who go there and the religions themselves. How would i go about doing this? I'm a Catholic so i havn't a fucking clue lol
