In religions/mythologies where the afterlife is somewhere on

Damn /his/ I thought you guys were well read n shit.

last bump

It sounds like you've got your cosmology mixed up. IIRC in most mythology the dead must descended to Hades to be judged before passing on to Elysium, where they are shades. Better to follow the plow as thrall to another man, one with no land allotted him and not much to live on, than to be a king over all the perished dead.

Christians have a physical afterlife on the earthen Kingdom come. However, since it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, it is not really described in christian theology.

>>1975171
Okay, but how does the dead body go to Hades then? That's a physical location as well no?
And I know that Elysium was considered a place far away on Earth, at least some greek poets thought so.

>>1975186
Yeah but I'm talking about right now. I thought the idea was that in the time of Kingdom Come god just makes all corpses and souls come back.

>>1975192
Yes, thats the point, there is no such thing as a heaven for christians, makes you wonder where all the christians souls have gone to

>>1975192
Christians believe the saints will receive a glorified body—which is like the body Christ received after his resurrection—after the final judgment.

That's all well and good, but how does it work in other mythologies?

Depends on if only the soul goes to the place of afterlife, or if a physical resurrection of the dead and restoring of his body is involved.

Well my question was how it works when the afterlife is physical, but the body isn't resurrected. Like in greek mythology.
