i think there is a life after death because:
we see a lot of people being good to other people, offering prayers in churches, mosques and temples. they fast and teach their children to follow them or the guidelines of jesus or mohammed.
Also there are people who are bad, don't treat and respect others, perform all sorts of illicit and harmful activities such as theft, robbery, rape, deceive others and many others. Often these people get away from justice and from the eyes of law.
So I think there will come a day when these culprits will be judged upon their deeds by an eternal power (God). Everyone will be given life on the judgement day and God will be the judge.

Eccl.9:5-"For the living are conscious that they will die but as for the dead they are conscious of nothing at all"
Gen.3:19-"...you will return to the ground,for out of it you were taken.For dust you are and to dust you will return."
The Bible teaches when we die,we no longer exist.
However, we do have the hope of a resurrection,found at
Acts 24:15 "....that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous"
But as far as reincarnation or anything like that,no I do not believe that to be possible.I only follow the guidance found in the Bible and the Bible clearly states that we remain in God's memory after death until His appointed time when the resurrection takes place.

Yes I believe there is another life after death. It is an eternal one and the way to it is Jesus Christ the Son of God. Eternal life starts from this life (kind of parallel to it) and extends to eternity. The only prerequisite is to invite Jesus Christ to your life and open the (your) door He's been knocking
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God bless you

In my religion, we are taught that after death we are reincarnated into our most prised Bobble. The great and all knowing NikNak deemed this so when Venusians attempted to steal Earth's supply of Bobbles. In this way if the Venusians ever stole a Bobble, they would be haunted by the spirit of the person who once owned it.
Curio!

The Bible tells us that Jesus said that He was going to prepare a place for us. He also went to the bowels of the earth at his death and released the captives that Satan held that were His so that they could be with Him. Remember the thief? He told him that he would be with Him that day. So when we die our soul goes to be with Jesus to await the resurrection of our glorified body in the rapture. So yes there is life after death. Either eternal life with Jesus or eternal life in the torments of hell. You have to make the choice or where.

If something went on after we died, it wouldn't be the person you are. The person who is you is your brain. Your personality, mental talents, and mental disabilities, and emotions all come from your brain, an electro-chemical organizm. It's why alcohol makes you drunk. It's why you get sleepy. It's why you're attracted to the opposite sex (or in some cases, the same sex).
You weren't aware of anything before you were born, you aren't aware of anything when you're asleep, and I doubt you'll be aware of anything after you die.
Life after death is just the wishful thinking of those who fear dieing.

No.
Just about every religion has a mythology regarding the afterlife.
It really doesn't matter what we believe. Just wait and see. Ultimately, we will find out the answer to that question.
Move on.

well, what we know of science so far tells us that energy (just like matter) can not be created or destroyed.. all the energy that exists is already present in the universe... when the body dies, it clearly has less energy than when it was alive.. so where does this energy go....?
i suspect the "energy" i mentioned is the soul... i believe there is conciousness within the soul, after it leaves the body...

You cannot be frightened of the unknown because you do not know what the unknown is and so there is nothing to be afraid of. Death is a word, and it is the word, the image, that creates fear. So can you look at death without the image of death? As long as the image exists from which springs thought, thought must always create fear. Then you either rationalize your fear of death and build a risistance against the inevitable or you invent innumerable beliefs to protect you from the fear of death. Hence there is a gap between you and the thing of which you are afraid. In this time-space interval there must be conflict which is fear, anxiety and self-pity. Thought, which breeds the fear of death, says, 'Let's postpone it, let's avoid it, keep it as far away as possible, let's not think about it'- but you are thinking about it. When you say, 'I won't think about it', you have already thought out how to avoid it. You are frightened of death because you have postponed it.
We have separated living from dying, and the interval between the living and the dying is fear. That interval, that time, is created by fear. Living is our daily torture, daily insult, sorrow and confusion, with occasional opening of a window over enchanted seas. That is what we call living, and we are afraid to die, which is to end this misery. We would rather cling to the known than face the unknown - the known being our house, our furniture, our family, our character, our work, our knowledge, our fame, our loneliness, our gods - that little thing that moves around incessantly within itself with its own limited pattern of embittered existence.
We think that living is always in the present and that dying is something that awaits us at a distant time. But we have never questioned whether this battle of everyday life is living at all. We want to know the truth about reincarnation, we want proof of the survival of the soul, we listen to the assertion of clairvoyants and to the conclusions of psychical research, but we never ask, never, how to live - to live with delight, with enchantment, with beauty every day. We have accepted life as it is with all its agony and despair and have got used to it, and think of death as something to be carefully avoided. But death is extraordinarily like the life we know how to live. You cannot live without dying. You cannot live if you do not die psychologically every minute. This is not an intellectual paradox. To live completely, wholly, every day as if it were a new loveliness, there must be dying to everything of yesterday, otherwise you live mechanically, and a mechanical mind can never know what love is or what freedom is.
Most of us are frightened of dying because we don't know what it means to live. We don't know how to live, therefore we don't know how to die. As long as we are frightened of life we shall be frightened of death. The man who is not frightened of life is not frightened of being completely insecure for he understands that inwardly, psychologically, there is no security. When there is no security there is an endless movement and then life and death are the same. The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.

Yes.........because I believe the Bible is the Word of God and He says I will live with Him eternally.
ON THE OTHER HAND............IF there were/is no Heaven, I would still live for the Creator God because He deserves my allegiance for creating me and it is a good way of life to live.
