Yes, "afterlife", and not Heaven or Nirvana or wherever... just the afterlife. Do you think that all races and religions will meet each other underneath the stars? Will everyone be free of disabilities and disformations? Will we all be blind and deaf to evils? What do you think?
And please, no "it doesn't exist!" comments. I prefer to think that my mind and soul will live on somehow, somewhere, and nothing is going to change that.

Wow, what a question. Philosophical questions tend to make me write a lot, but I will try to keep this somewhat brief.
Some would say you were reincarnated based on how you behaved in this life. Others would say you would be rewarded if you had the same beliefs as them and punished if not. Others still will say you would be punished for bad deeds and rewarded for good deeds. Yet others would say you go to a place where you can feast and fight and never die. Some would say its a lot like a second version of this life. And finally some would say that it is a lot like it was before you were born. A common theme here is that through certain actions you will be able to achieve eternal bliss. One would hope that people would believe that race, religion, sexual preference, physical or mental disabilities would not cause a person to be "denied access" to this happiness. It really is up to you to decide for yourself which of these ideas you feel most comfortable with. While you can't control what the afterlife will be like, you can control this one and make it the best it can be.
I hope that this helps you.

When you speak of the afterlife, I know that you are referring to the time after a person dies, and leaves this earth. You can believe what you want to believe, but I firmly believe the Word of God. And it teaches us that when we leave this earth, we are going to face the creator of Heaven and earth; God Almighty. And then we are either going to be let into the eternal home, Heaven, or we are going to be dismissed from the sight of the Heavenly Father, and cast into the eternal place called Hell. You may not believe this, but it is the facts from the Word of God. And you can choose not to believe the words of the Bible, but I can promise you that it is God's Words, and it shall surely come to pass. You can rest assured that there is no afterlife other than that which is arranged by God Almighty. One thing that you are right about. Your mind and your soul is going to live on forevermore. I pray that it will be with Jesus Christ in Heaven. I suggest that you get into the Word of God, and read the truth for yourself.

The only after life in which I believe is the Circle of Life in the micro and the macro Universe.
..........but that's my opinion. You can believe in whatever you want.
