Here’s a question I never found a satisfactory answer for. Not when I was a theist, not now that I’m an atheist.
The religious believe that people who die in a state of grace ascend to heaven. In fact at least one Christian believes you bodily ascend, and the loss of a limb in life is a problem.
Anyway, it seems to be a common belief that you die and ascend as you are at that moment.
