If most sensations, pleasure, pain, touch, taste etc are generated by physical sensory receptors and transfered to the mind/soul via specific neural pathways and nerve transmitors (or animal spirits depending on archaic, you wanna get).

Then should you die but continue on as a disembodied soul, you would no longer have those receptors and thus be unable to feel anything, except abstract conceptualisations. At that point, you probably wouldnt care about god or the devil.

Unless of course, you believe in the ressurection. which is one good reason not to be christian.

Last time I checked most signals from "physical sensory receptors" of our bodies were going directly into our brains through "neural pathways
. But according to your logic, after death the human will lack not only receptors, but pathways and even brain itself. At this point the question of your afterlife existense become rather moot, if you determined to operate on the same principles as during your lifetime, don't you agree?
