I would've liked to see the face of the first theologian
that was asked about sitatuations such as being devoured by
piranhas or having their body being picked clean by
nightwatch beetles. Would you really want to rise and return
to the earth with whatever was left of your body?
*IMO* Its the hope... the story.. the inability to cope with
the OFF button; I believe when we die, we die. 'We' don't
anything anymore... no looking down @ our body, no going to
the next life, no party in the sky nor turmoil in a world of
fire.
I leave all the stories where they should go; a bookshelf. I
grew up a ministers child, so I'm knowledgable about the
beliefs - but take a much more scientific approach to
existance.
When its time to go, thats it man...

Your key words above: "I believe.." intrigue me. What do you base that belief o n?
Some actual scientists have reported their concerns:
When its time to go, thats it man...Maybe not.

Where do you get the idea that one would rise/return "with whatever was left

Early Jewish beliefs. Hell was a concept absorbed when..
Some American Indian beliefs are similar, in which..
In different parts of the world. being placed face down upon
death would prevent your soul from leaving your body.
Cremate me, and shoot me into space. that would be nice.
My beliefs, I think, come from a [childhood] lifetime of
pressure to become ordained.... in my family, it was simple-
..However, during that childhood I saw
the good, bad and ugly of Christian living..
...I knew that Christianity and faith
teaching would never be for me.
If anything, I could consider spirituality or 'whats next'
if there was one ounce of proof or... reason that it could
be true. IMO, the overwhelming truth is that there isn't any
scientific reasoning behind the tall tales that the bible..
..- but every single religion describes the same
God, punishment and miracle-talk.
...I
believe that many many people are gone now - GONE - and they
spent their lives not living it.. having faith in something
invisible, without any scientific reasoning whatsoever.
Everything I've experienced or seen in the flesh
shows me that the end is the end. Our dogs go.. and have
never came back. To me, anyway...
These are tough topics - and not one that can sway the
opposite opinion...

Yes, but you have to wonder if that question came up. If
you got tattoos in life, would they carry over to the
afterlife? How about a broken leg? Would someone who has
autism or Down's Syndrome also have it in the afterlife? If
you return to walk the earth, is your new body and brain
free of the defects or abnormalities that define you?

I am sure there would be an enterprising company that would be happy to fleece you for 6-figures to do that. But then you would never know if they kept their end of the deal.
Surprisingly, the Bible provides a pretty good idea what happens.

Norse Mythology gives a great description of Valhalla,
Greek Mythology has lots of descriptions of Hades and Mt.
Olympus. Sikhism, Buddhism, Hinduism, all describe the
wheel and reincarnation in depth.
Which one is right? And why?

First of all, the term mythology gives a pretty good clue what it
is. ;) I personally have a problem with reincarnation; the
premise does not explain an expanding population.

Christianity is often referred to to as "Christian
Mythology" whene speaking in these terms, too.

I would challenge the "often referred" part. ;) I don't hear that
in mainstream or among the academia.
There are elements that later practices have adopted based on
mythologies and mysticism in outlying ideas, but I wouldn't classify Christianity as 100% mythology.

Of course Christianity is a myth, it just happens to be the one myth which is true.
