Answer 1

,Well, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, and have repented of your sins, you go to Heaven. If you are not a follower of the one true God and His Son, Jesus...Then you go to Hell. Either way you are spending eternity somewhere.

Answer 2

I'm a Jehovah's Witness. (Thats Christian) We do not believe that everyone is going to either heaven or hell. When you die, you are dead.

Earth—Just a Testing Ground?
WHAT a relief! She passed. The student who had gone through a grueling two weeks of exams finally received a gratifying report. She could now move on to the job she had always wanted.

Many people view life on earth in a similar way. They think of it as a preliminary test that all must take. Those who "pass" move on to something better in some form of Hereafter. It would be sad, indeed, if the present life—a mere existence for many—were the best humans could expect. Though healthy and prosperous for most of his life, the Bible character Job observed: "Man, born of woman, is short-lived and glutted with agitation."—Job 14:1.

Reflecting the thinking of many, the New Catholic Encyclopedia states: "Heavenly glory is the destiny for which God intends man. . . . Man's happiness can be seen to lie in his possession of heavenly bliss." A recent Church of Christ survey in the United States claimed that 87 percent of respondents believe that they are likely to go to heaven after they die.

Many non-Christians also hope to depart the earth for a better place after death. Muslims, for example, hope to go to a heavenly paradise. Followers of the Pure Land sects of Buddhism in China and Japan believe that by endlessly reciting "Amitabha," the name of the Buddha of Unlimited Light, they will be reborn in the Pure Land, or Western Paradise, where they will live in supreme happiness.

Interestingly, the Bible, the most widely translated and distributed holy book in the world, does not present the earth as a place to escape from, a stepping-stone of sorts. For instance, it states: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." (Psalm 37:29) In the Bible is also found Jesus' famous statement: "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."—Matthew 5:5, King James Version.

The generally held view that our earthly tenancy is temporary implies that death is the doorway to a blissful afterlife. If so, then death is surely a blessing. But do people in general view death that way, or do they try to prolong this life? Experience shows that when people enjoy reasonable health and security, they do not want to die.

Nonetheless, because life on earth is fraught with evil and suffering, heaven is still viewed by many as the only place to find true peace and happiness. Is heaven simply a place of blissful peace, totally immune from evil and disharmony? And is a Hereafter to be only in some heavenly realm? You may be surprised at the Bible's answers.

Answer 3

As a Christian I believe when you die your spirit goes immediately to Heaven..while your body stays buried. when the Lord comes back in the clouds then our earthly bodies will rise from the grave and go to Heaven.

Answer 4

We get absorbed back into the Tao... and can decide then what we want to do.

The great Tao is everywhere.
All things are born from it,
Yet it doesn’t create them.
It pours itself into its work,
Yet it makes no claim.
It nourishes infinite worlds,
Yet it doesn’t hold on to them.
Since it is merged with all things
And hidden in their hearts,
It can be called humble.
Since all things vanish into it
And it alone endures,
It can be called great.
It isn’t aware of its greatness;
Thus it is truly great.

The Tao gives birth to all beings,
Nourishes them, maintains them
Cares for them, comforts them, protects them,
Takes them back to itself,
Creating without possessing,
Acting without expecting,
Guiding without interfering.
That is why love of the Tao
Is in the very nature of things.

Answer 5

When I die, I will get my just desserts.

Satanist here.

You die, you rot in the ground. Pretty simple.
