No, there wouldn't be a need and there isn't a need now, IMHO.

It depends on how you define "immortal". If you mean no one ever gets sick or old, there is still death by starvation, suffocation or violence. If you mean true invulnerability, that would change pretty much everything. There'd be no need to eat or breathe, to gather food or worry about pollution. The "purpose" of life would change dramatically. There likely wouldn't even be a need for sex. I doubt anyone would think about an afterlife, although there would be some who wished for death.

If you mean never die, then I guess there would be no need for an afterlife. Heck how would we even know about an afterlife or care if we couldn't die?

Our souls *are* immortal. Who wants to drag a physical body around for eternity???

How long did it take you to think up this question...I hope not long, and then before you took your meds.
Duh, no death therefore no afterlife.

NO CAUSE U WOULD BE IMMORTAL SO YOU WOULD NOT DIE SO WHY WOULD THERE BE AN "AFTERLIFE"

just think about that for a second.
if there was no death, would we need a post-death life?
