I don't believe there is a judgement day, except insofar as I examine my own thoughts, motives, words and actions at the end of each day to see if anything needs amends or repairs.
If I turn out to be wrong, I will not try to defend myself, but accept what comes.
There are other theories of the afterlife. There is the Tibetan Bardo - a kind of Limbo - from which the soul might drift as a hungry ghost, move on into another human incarnation, or incarnate as an animal, a god in the heavenly realm, or a demon in the hell realm - or if enlightenment was achieved in this lifetime, never re-incate. Similar beliefs are held by Hindus, other sects of Mahayana Buddhism. In the religious form of Taoism, the ancestors become spirits living in heaven, available to their descendants via prayer. In animist religions, with great variation, the souls of the departed become part of the land, sea or sky.
Who is to say that what they believe is the one and only Truth?
Bible says " only a fool does not believe in God" but I thought it wiser to be a fool than a hypocrite pretending I believe in a God.

I have seen my death. It is imminent. I am not young. I want to not have a defense. I want to embrace death as a passage way to the real existence of all of us.
This is the unreal. I have had a glimpse of the real. It is pure bliss. God already forgives us all. It is we who do not learn to forgive ourselves. We cannot forgive ourselves until we forgive everyone else that we falsely believe do not deserve our forgiveness.
Only through our surrender do we see the passage way through fear and doubt to True Bliss. Christ Consciousness is right now. I don't have to wait to die to understand this truth.
This sounds like something a defense attorney wrote. I hope it works or else you'll really need that asbestos-lined underwear I sent you for Christmas last year! ~
Though I believe ‘Judgement Day’ is a purely religious contrivance, if I am somehow wrong, I am content in the way I have lived my life and what I have accomplished while I was here. I am immensely grateful to have lived and I have no regrets in this area.
If this is not satisfactory to whomever does the “judging”, then I don’t care to share their company, anyway.
