What happens after we die? The question has been asked countless times over the millenium, and we still have no idea, and probably never will. The following views are my personal views on religion and death, not something for people to base their life on (unless they wish that is).

Something had to create this reality, and I'll just call the two Gods for the sake of conformity. The two spent many years together, both happy. And the first Gods began to grow lonely. So They begat children Gods. There were countless numbers of Them, and many religions are based on one or more of these children. The first Gods were happy once again, seeing how happy Their children were in their realm. For decades They lived in bliss, until some of the children began to get the lonely feeling that the first Gods had felt, and others began to bicker amongst Themselves on who was greater. The first Gods then created the Earth, and animals and plants to populate it. Earth was a perfect place, with gentle blue waters and the weather unchanging and pleasant. Night did not find its way to Earth, and the food was plentiful everywhere. There was one great desert put on the Earth, where the Gods did not travel to, and four Great Mountain ranges.

The Gods roamed the earth happily for a time, but a few still bickered. One child named Sin rose up against His brother Death, and slew Him. The Gods were not pleased and exiled Sin to the one great desert on the Earth to live there forever. The first Gods did not want Sin to have a feeling of loneliness however, and also wanted to solve the problem of the children bickering amongst themselves. So they created man, and told the other gods that they must look up to man, for although created afterwards, he was pure. Sin, although exiled, was still told to obey this rule, and He rebelled. Other children of the first Gods also rebelled, joining under the banner of Sin. But the remaining children were larger in number, and fought off the rebellious Gods. The first Gods banished Them to a place that we'll call the Pit. This was not the Hell you'd be imagining however. It was a vast expanse of nothingness, with no one to talk to and nothing to see. The rebellious Gods were left alone in that place. The first Gods then ressurected Death's body and placed Him as the keeper of that place along with another of Their children, War.

Sin was clever, however, and while Death and War were on their way to the Pit, He went up to Earth. When He got there, man had already created children. Sin decided to bring what He brought to the gods to Earth. He told one of the children to kill the other, that His parents loved the other child more, and that the other child was planning to kill Him anyways for being so worthless and grotesque to His parents. So in a grim parody of Sin's damning, the child, with the help of Sin, killed His brother. As a reward, Sin granted him Godhood, and let Him, Seth, reign over the great desert. Sin quickly returned to the pit, and found Death and War guarding the entrance. Sin thought that if He killed Death once He could do it again, and so attacked Death. With War however, Death slew Sin. Sin's spirit remained, however, and in a great rage He flew back to the Earth.

During that time the Gods tried to decide on how to punish Man. Their decision was this: make the world unfriendly at times, make the mountains pour forth fire. Make the desert grow in size, and let the waters churn. Even harsher, they gave man the emotions of fear, terror, pain, suffering, heartbreak, anger, lust, rage, and all others that we consider evil. They created the night, where man would fear the things that came out in it, and would make them insecure. Then the greatest punishment. Where once man could only die by the hands of a God or with the help of a God, man would now die from other forces, be they other men, nature, disease, or self destruction. And if they did not perform as evil an act as Sin had made them, they would go to a realm that would be like the Earth before. But if they once more acted out the fall of Sin, they would join him in the Pit.

This punishment had no real meaning for the first Gods however, for they had created man without any intent on evil. But Sin's spirit remained, and He dispersed to each man, feeding off of them, and corrupting their soul. And each time a person would do wrong, Sin would grow stronger, feeding off the person's soul, and He would send a bit of his spirit to another man.

And so the cycle continues to this day, with Sin getting stronger each day, and man falling from the good graces of the Gods.

Sin, God of Evil- If ever to regain His true form, would be the most powerful God there is, though even without it He may arguably be the strongest now. Man is in such a state that Sin constantly consumed purity, leaving behind all that is evil in man. And as the world falls to depravity, He grows stronger. Divinely beautiful and horrible at the same time, Sin enters the mind of each of us, trying to keep us from questioning our morals. When someone questions there morals and still performs evil acts, He grows stonger, though He is the cause. And man, thus seduced, comes closer to death. Once a man is deemed fruitless by Sin, he will die, his death explained by mundane terms.

Seth, the Desert God- The first God to be created from men. After Sin granted him Godhood, he held a reign of terror over the desert. To the traveler He brought hallucinations of grand design, causing them to see mirages. Bringing them into the desert, they would become His victims. Egyptian cults were formed around Seth, also known as Set, Senmet, or Typhon. Though the Gods in the Upper Realm were angered by His creation, They could not strip Him of His Godhood. It was the first of many instances this was to happen.

Christ, God of Virtue and Purity- Born as a simple carpenter, Christ had no desire whatsoever for anything but life. Patient, kind, fair, and just, He was devoid of Sin. Men flocked to Him after recognizing His virtue, and a He began to preach to them. Sin was angered that He could not ravage Christ's soul, and so attacked Pontius Pilate twice over, bringing the end to Christ's life as a man. The Gods of the Upper Realm saw that Christ was pure, that He alone was that which They had intended to create in the beginning, and so They brought Him back to life after three days of deliberation, and granted Him Godhood. From that point on, man would know what purity and virtue was, and seek to follow the road of Christ.

Diulana, Goddess of Moon and Night- Though seen by some of the other Gods of the Upper Realm as somewhat dark, Diulana simply wants solitude. After the damning of man, the moon needed to be created for night to exist, else man would die. Diulana took residence upon it, and She became Goddess of the Night. Pale and beautiful, Her eyes hold a dark wisdom, and it is She that provides respite for the world and the minimal warth of the night. Feasts and parties often are held in Her favour as they creep into the wee hours of the morning. She watches over us as night falls upon us, though She cannot bless all of us while in Her period of the day.

Death- Now guardian of the entry to the Pit, Death is emotionless and cold. His eyes are black orbs to lose oneself in forever, and He alone knows when Sin will claim our souls. Grim and unfeeling, He offers comfort to only those who have seen enough of Sin. His angels bring our souls to The Judge, who will then decide whether we are brought back to this world, cast into The Pit, or lifted to the Upper Realm. Death knows only His eternal task, to guard the gates of the void and to collect souls for The Judge.

YHVH, the Artisan God- When the first Gods needed the Earth created, YHVH was called upon to create every detail of it according to their instructions. All those who profit from crafts fall into His favour, and He finds happiness in the works of man. Also known as Jehova, YHVH creates the materials needed for the existance of all from nothing. He is wise and kind at times, and at other times, childish and full or wrath. It is His will to see beauty in as many places as possible or to find beauty in all.
