The body does not have a soul. You are a soul. The soul has a body. (C.S. Lewis).
Understand this well, and then you will understand who you are, what your relationship with God is, and where you will go after you die.
I am Jewish. In Judaism there is no hell. There is only heaven. Everyone goes there, even non-Jews. The difference is in how much preparation you have made in this world for your eternal journey in the spiritual world that is illuminated by Gods infinite light. If you prepare yourself now for the journey, you will really, really enjoy it. If you don't prepare yourself then you will spend your eternal life searching for a celestial shopping mall to buy yourself a pair of spiritual sun-glasses, which would be pointless since you won't have any money.. G-d's infinite light is so intense that you will not be able to enjoy yourself as much, you'll find it painful.
So stop thinking about all of the physical pleasures in this world, and prepare yourself now spiritually (by developing a relationship with God) so that you will enjoy the eternal journey when your soul is returned to the realm of spiritual energy.

Well after death you basically do whatever you want to do. You are free from the material world so anything you want is yours. There is no heaven and hell just another life of constant happiness. Heaven is what you would call this place if it had a name, and as for Hell..
Hell wouldnt exist because if you believe that whole theory then you should know that God forgives the sins of all men if they are truly sorry for what they have done. What person wouldnt be truly sorry to save them from going to Hell?

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

I KNOW that the body rots or maybe some one will burn it.
I do not care which.
After all it is just a body.
anyway
after death I think that life will go on as usual.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

I believe that after a person dies, they are dead. My father died a few years ago, and about the same time, he stopped coming over. I think that his death has something to do with it.

You hang out, stare at the wall, and eat nachos.
It's a lot like what happens after you smoke a bowl.

I guess the real question would be what do you believe? I'm a Christian and the Bible tells me what happens next.

People stand around eating finger food and saying what a great person you were.... or at least you were the last time they saw you ten years ago. They bring flowers too.
