I'm a Christian, so I know where I'm going, but for those of you that aren't me. . . . Are you just going to wait and see? Are you hoping you're good enough for nothing bad to happen? Are you trying not to think about it? Just wondering. Thanks!

I will be buried.

Wait and see? This has got to be the worst argument for Christianity I have ever heard! Well, I don't know what happens after I die, so I'll be religious, just in case...as is the Christan God couldn't tell!
I think that I will decompose and nothing of my ego or memories will remain. I do not fear death, because I will have no feeling, no thought, just nothing. Like the way I was in Shakespeare's time, or the Jurassic era. I will be nothing.
And if there is a God? If He comes to me and asks why I didn't believe? I would say, "not enough evidence, God. But since I see you here now, I would be more than happy to try to gather different data"
I madde the decision that was right for me, and the idea of a God is so strange and unsupported, when it comes down to rock hard science. The only God that I could possibly ever believe in is a deist God, and a deist God wouldn't care anyway, so why bother?

Yup, my plan is to wait and see. I believe in God, but I don't know if I necessarily want to go to Heaven. I can't imagine being alive all over again like that for all eternity. It's kind of tiring just right now and I've been here 23 years. And if I'm not good enough to go someplace good, then that's fine too. Hell can't be empty, I guess. Or Purgatory, Limbo, what have you. I dunno. I can't fathom the rest of forever. I don't try NOT to think about it, it doesn't bother me.

I'm not sure but it seems to be quite beautiful.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

When a person dies under normal circumstances the physical body returns to dust from whence it came.
Their eternal spirit "lives on". It is written that they will either go to hell or heaven as appropriate for their earthly lifestyle.
I would not care to go to hell but am uncertain if I am destined for heaven.
If it makes any difference I would like to see John Lennon fans/followers spending eternity with him singing the song "Imagine" over and over again. [notice I did not suggest or judge which way I imagine John and crew will spend eternity]
Does this help any?

I am really very wholeheartedly interested in all religionists to go to heaven or wherever it is that you all want to go. That way you will all be happy there in heaven.
I think the world will be a much better place without you guys around!0!
The rest of us will stick around, and if someone dares talking about religion, we'll send them to heaven so they can choose and be happy there!0!
Enjoy!0!

Regardless of religion no-one on this earth knows what happens after death, we all have to wait and see because there is no solid evidence of what life after death is, have faith and be good is all a person can do.

Why does it matter...
Why are people so invested in thoughts about what happens after the body goes-they are just THOUGHTS and it seems like a waste of a life to think about such things.

I too am a believer. I believe that we are spiritual beings on a brief earthly journey.
I had a near death experience and I was in that white light on my way to the life everlasting. The peace was beyond anything humanly possible.
I know it is there....I just believe that it is way beyond our earthly understanding.
