I'm just asking a simple question that should have a pretty clear answer but it doesn't seem to.

I'm honestly not even religious, but it seems to me the only source you should be getting your info from would be the Bible. Dante's divine comedy is more of a medieval fanfic so you can't really go off of that either. As far as the Bible is concerned, hell is only a pit of fire that burns eternally. I don't actually know what it says about heaven, but seeing as how the whole thing is hyperbole I'd hazard a guess that it's not very descriptive about it if it ever describes it directly at all. Sorry I could be more helpful than that

Thanks anyway, a quick google search shows people interpreting things very differently, I would've thought that on an issue like this there would be a much broader consensus.

The Bible in general is pretty vague on things like that, and I'm sure that's by design. Leaves it up to your imagination so every individual can form their own ideal scenario rather than explicitly describing something that may not appeal to absolutely everyone

By which I mean if you are look for such a consensus, there's a good chance it was never meant to be found. Or if you choose to look at it from a theological perspective, you could take it to mean that it isn't something you could comprehend anyway. A deist may tell you that it means that the afterlife is essentially whatever you wanted it to be. Just depends on how you want to look at it

So it is not taught at all to people what they "should" believe comes after death? The Catholic or Orthodox churches do not have a mantra so to speak as I am sure they are asked this question a lot by their clergy especially when someone dies.

I went to church as a kid. At least for Lutheran's, the answer is "you go with god in heaven" and that's all that is said. More specific than that I doubt there is a consensus on.

Maybe I'm being an autist about it, might go into my local catholic church and ask the vicar / cannon if he's around.

My guess is a big castle.

According to Catholics you go to heaven, and the physical resurrection comes latter.

I dont know what the orthodox believe
