As soon as we die we start to decay.
With any luck, we'll be fertilizer.
Otherwise, we're stuck in a Tupperware container for a very long time.

Heaven and Hell are just man-made fantasy locations which help serve the purpose of dumping religion into the minds of gullible people. At then of the day this happens for money, power and control of the masses. It's big business.
What is more likely to happen when you die is as follows ...
Imagine this. You’ve just bought a new home which you furnish with all sorts of nice fittings and fixtures, then prepare the grounds and garden. You plant a wide range of trees, shrubs, flowers, plants and vegetables. You clip and prune as time goes on, spray the weeds, and generally keep your property in good shape.
Many years pass and your gardens are flourishing, not a weed to be seen anywhere. You head off on holiday, a weed pops up and bugs start to crawl all over it. Not to worry, when you return home you spray the gardens, killing all the bugs and weeds. Everything is back to normal.
Now consider the universe. After billions of years a little planet (weed) called Earth pops up and it’s crawling with bugs called humans. Do you really think the gardener (or creator) really cares about the bugs and weeds? Do you think the gardener cares if he destroys you? Do you think that the bugs (humans) on the weed (Earth) have any idea what’s going on in the rest of garden (universe)? What happens to all human beings is just the same as what happens to all bugs and weeds – universal compost.

I don't really know what to say about where we are or what our souls are doing after we die but I do know we dont' go to heaven or hell b/c we have to wait to be judged. I was always told its just like we're sleeping. The bible says when he returns the dead will rise first then he will take those here on earth. If the dead are already in heaven or hell how can he raise them? So I don't believe that. I guess they're just in waiting, till He returns and then judges us.!

Yes, the Bible says so. As soon as we die we go to Heaven or Hell.

As soon as we die it is judgement day Then Heaven or Hell.... eventually there will be the second judgment and the lake of fire and a second death... the death of our soul.
Or for those who are saved... eternal life in Heaven.

I believe, just as the verse shows, we go to a place of comfort or pain till judgment, then we go to heaven or hell. The rich man went to hades not hell. a misinterpretation, however not far off the mark.

Certainly not our physical bodies. Those are left behind. The soul will be made to review its just finished life and judge its own actions acording to the laws of God.
then you can either ask to reincarnate in another body and diferent cercostances o lean the lessions you missed. or choise to go to purgatoy and have your sins burned out of you. before entering heaven.

If you believe in the Bible see 2 Corinthians 5:8

Nope. You either go to hell, because you were outrageously terrible, you go to heaven because you are a martyr, or you go to purgatory because you were okay, but you still have some kinks in your spirit. We will not be able to see God in all his splendor and glory until we are perfect, and purgatory does that for us.......I also have a lot of other info on purgatory and stuff, but you'll have to email me if you want it.

100% sure and no way to escape that one..
Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
