Why do many people say "R.i.p" to people that have died?
54 Answers
This is usually from non religous people that do not even believe in any form of afterlife This is illogical right? so doesn't this imply that the person would otherwise be in some kind of torment had it not been for these "Kind respectful" words?
If this is meant to be a "mark of respect then wouldn't making up a word or phrase that is better suited a better option?
What if the relatives or friends believe in afterlife punishment, wouldn't this phrase then be disrespectful to them?

Same as 4getmenot. It's my way of saying that whatever troubles and pains they have suffered, I hope that now they're gone they don't have to suffer any more.
If I'm wrong and there does turn out to be a heaven and hell, then I really hoep they send me to the latter, because that's where most of my friends will be and to be honest, it looks a lot more fun!

Jackthehat no they obviously don't mean the physical body because once the soul has departed its mortal shell then the body is just that, an empty shell that feels nothing.
They obviously mean the soul or spirit as you said because this is the oine that then goes ont be judged and punished or rewarded.
