If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
If this is the case, then one might ask why the same thing doesn't happen with religions that believe in an afterlife.
The religion I'm familiar with (dunno about others) explicitly says that the death of either spouse terminates the marriage.
That could be because they believe that everyone will be resurrected.
Yeah, but some people will go to heaven and other people will go to hell, so I don't think that's the answer.
Do I correctly suspect they have polyamory in heaven?

I bet minority of people who believe in heaven actually believe in hell, or at least believe that you have to be really evil to go there.
