Circle of Life

Thankfully we have religion to provide us some measure of comfort as to what awaits us after death. If only for this reason, perhaps the tax free incentives and political meddling of religious institutions can be rationalized and justified.
We all wonder what happens to us after we die.
Heaven and salvation supposedly awaits us. But what if it is part of God's "divine plan" that we are nothing more than fertilizer to plants and food for the worms after death? Just another link in the "circle of life".
Many people take "God" too seriously. If he exist, then the joke is on us.

@josie_ Did you ever hear that there is a small part of human bone that is never destroyed. It's the bone from which new human body is created.

@yanzalong _If you are referring to the tail bone (coccyx), it too can be damage if enough force is applied.
I take it that you are a follower of Islam because of this quote by the Prophet, "All of the Sons of Adam (men) will decay except for the bone of coccyx (tailbone). From it he (man) was created and by it he will be reconstructed."
My only question is will the man or woman created be you or another person?

But would it be the kind of life that has human cognition and awareness? Wouldn't that require a physical vessel like a body in order to experience what our senses perceive around us? Where do we pick up a new body, given that the old one is decomposing?

In nature we procreate and then we do indeed become fertilizer

Perhaps, we are not even yet fertilizer, until we grow ourselves into being so. Perhaps we are more freshmen, or excrement only, right now.
To God, all of creation is likened unto his excrement, as it has all came out of him as a creation, it is then up to that excrement, whether it stays excrement, or becomes fertilizer, like you said there.
Sure, it's created as perfect excrement, but that has to be changed from cannon fodder to something more useful, by our adding wisdom and love, as well as giving it form for a while to pass that knowledge and wisdom onto others, and then return to the dust again, cleaned of the scent of God's excrement.
