Afterlife or death is an essential issue within any religion, but they all have different views about them. Christians and Hindu both have a very unique belief about existential questions and afterlife. Christian’susually believe that life is given by God,the supreme being, and that they are created in His own image, hence, man should not interfere with human life but strive to live according to the will of God. Christian’s believe that birth is a blessing from God to mankind andthat life is holy and should be preserved and lived to please the creator who is God. Therefore, every Christian should avoid sinning and avoiding bad judgment. At the end of time when God shall come to take the righteous people to heaven. Life is created by God and only God can take it away hence, death is only allowed by God. Christian’s believe there is eternal life after death, which, if they lived according to the will of God in this life they will have a good life after death but if they sinned against God they will suffer and even perish in the next life. They also believe that after death, one’s soul goes to heaven for those people who have lived a righteous life or goes to hell to suffer and perish for those who lived a sinful life.

The Hindu religion believes in Karma;this involves rebirth of the soul also known as Atman. Their reason for living is to achieve moksha or liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth. AHindu’s next life is determined by karma. This involves his or her bad deeds in the previous life. They also live per dharma or their moral responsibilities and duties. Hindu’s then strive to get in a good state of their life before they die ensuring that they have completed their issues in the existing life before the rebirth of their soul in the next life.  If Hindu’s don’t they are reincarnated to a lower caste or a worse off life till they do good deeds to then finish their cycle of reincarnation. Then and only then will the cycle of reincarnation end for Hinduism.

The Religions

You chose Hinduism for your Eastern religion and Christianity for your Abrahamic religion. The religions that you chose meet the guidelines for this paper. You may continue moving forward with these religions.

The Issues

Your paper should be organized around specific existential questions such as:

• Who am I?
• Why am I here?
• What is the meaning of life?
• Do I have free will?
• How should I live?
• What happens to me when I die?

An existential question pertaining to the afterlife must be addressed. See Section 1.07 of the online material for more information regarding existential questions. The sketch that you provide only addresses the afterlife. You must address more existential questions for the next milestone.
