I don't know what will happen to me when I die. But I do not live to find out what happens when I shall die, I live for the experiences of LIFE. Why live just to die, anyway?

I would be interested in the answer, but unless I wanted to stop living, it is not an option to test the answer. Perhaps life is but a joke and those that are not living know this.
In the wise words of Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan, however, I must agree when he says:
. . . that there are those among us,
who think that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that,
and this is not our fate,
so let us not talk falsely now,
the hour is getting late.
You know, since you only get about 80 years here, a mere flash in the pan in cosmic time, you are alive long enough to say "whee, I'm a drop," before you fall back into the ocean. To be part of the ocean is indeed something, perhaps more than just being a drop of saltwater.

Oddly, I have trouble understanding how the universe itself can be finite, but when it comes to me...it's no problem. Not saying I want it mind you, I just consider it facing the facts. Hopefully when the times comes it will be over in a blink. I 'am' nothing once more.
Possibly preferable to an eternity of hanging about dossing on a cloud until judgement day, then what, more of the same?

One or more of our organ systems will cease to work, either because they've done a lifetime's work, or due to injury or illness. This will result in the shutdown of the central nervous system, including our brain activity, which gives us the concept of existence. Once there is no brain activity, we cease to exist. After that, our bodies are disposed off and life around us continues to move forward.

Don't know. I'll find out when I get there though won't I?
Maybe something at somepoint in my life will convince me that God is real and I'll go to this heaven that all the Atheist haters on here think they're going to. Wouldn't that be a fun eternity?
ADDED>>>Robert, believing in heaven won't send you to it if it doesn't exist.

Same as happens to cats and penguins...
Your brain is like a computer full of ram...
When you switch it off there is no hard drive... All your programming dies when your back up battery ie few mins of oxygen in blood runs out.
then you are not aware you are meant like sleep no dreams...
thats it... your body rots or gets eaten and becomes fertiliser.

The same thing that happens to all living things when they die. Decay. The good news is...there IS no heaven or hell!

I don't know. And that is okay with me. I'm having enough fun living right now to worry about the distant future.

I think you know what we think (generally speaking).
I think that when someone dies, their consciousness ends due to the cut-off of energy supply to the brain (which powers their consciousness). They are then buried, burned to ashes, shoved in a closet, eaten, or whatever.
