What happens when you die?

From a fundamentalist Christian perspective, there is heaven and hell, but if we believe that, we become the judge of all and that is not how I know or understand God’s grace.

Heaven and hell are already present in this life and death is merely a seamless timeline. I am not frightened at all about death.

What would you do with your last 24 hours on earth?
