Lil E explains: The hereafter

Lilestarwarscase On death: Wait..wait..waaaaiiiit. When you die, does your body automatically go to the gravestone. When your body dies, is it already in the gravestone? Or...how does it get right in there? What about your spirit? It's in the gravestone, too, right?

On transcendence: What is your spirit? Is that like, "Ooooooooooooooohhhh, I'm a ghoooooooosssssst! Oooohhhhhh...."? Like all spooky at the gravestone?

On what happens next: I think heaven is like going on vacation. But you don't need a plane because, like, YOU are the plane. Then -- blooop! -- you go right to your vacation in heaven!

On the many possibilities: So some people think everything gets all black and it's then it's like over, for real life? Orrrrr, you could go to heaven. OR --ooh! Mommy! -- you can come back to life as a dog or kid or something? Like, I could come back as a kid who is smart and funny and knows all about Star Wars? I think I believe in heaven. What do you believe? I think I believe in heaven, too, Mommy. And we will all be there together. And we can play games and stuff!

On God: God has a cane. He does!  He really does! A creaky old man cane. Like, "Crrrreaaakkkkk, I'm an ollllld, ollllld man. Where is Jesus?" When I see God in heaven, I will say, "Hey, God, where's your cane?" and I will do this thing [stroking an imaginary beard] on my beard like he does...and like Grandpa! HAHAHA. God and Grandpa both have beards!

What a trip! I remember having a really, really definite picture of what god looked like when I was a kid. NO IDEA where it came from, but he wore a checked shirt and had red hair. By now, though, it would make sense that he needs an old man creaky cane.
