Afterlife
When a member of the church goes inactive they are met at the church at their inactive ceremony by that churches church god. When they have left the earth they reach the heavens where they must go through the afterlife trials. When a person reaches the heavens they turn into a sand item based on there life on earth. If they sinned they are a single grain of sand. If they where just a normal member of church they turn into 19 grains of sand. If they where a priest for your church they are a block of sand. If you where a holy person and where touched by the gods then you are a dub of sand. And if you are a Sand Priest you are a desert.

If you can make it through the first trial you go to the second. The second task is to ask for forgiveness from anyone you ever hurt. If they lie or refuse to ask forgiveness a sand digger come and removes a grain of sand. If they can do this they must seek approval from the gods. They meet with the gods and there church god talks to them why you should move on to the heaven. If the gods decided you are not good enough then they take all your sand out of you.
