The hardest part of your question is to work out what "I" means. For me, "I" refers to the collection of thoughts, experiences and concepts contained within my corporeal body which moves on in a steady progression with time and which gradually changes as a result of other external and internal influences. In that case I cannot go on after death.
If you believe in a soul and that this is the essence of "I" then possibly it can survive. I have no evidence that this is true and whilst I may hope that it is I have no faith.

No. But your ego or self will have great difficulty in accepting that, which leaves it open to becoming a victim of most of the spiritual nonsense available to people who prefer to live in a fantasy.
Live your life a fully as you can while maintaining moderation and balance. It takes some skill and most don't want to bother, thinking they might get around to being more after their death.
Life after death is a highly amusing bit of nonsense.

Dualism. You are your body. You can not survive you own death, as that would be contradictive.

your body is simly a vessel for your soul. your soul will live on. if you accept Jesus as your savior then it will continue on to heaven and you will have eternal life. but people have different views on what happens if you don't. i feel like if you are with out God in this life then you will remain with out God for all of eternity and be lonely for eternity. i can't imagine anything worse than that.

when you die your soul leaves the flesh. i believe that if you believe in jesus you will go to heaven to be with him for all eternity, if not you will be sent to hell for your sins. if you fear this, i would accept jesus as your lord and savior. john 3:16
