I do believe because of two reason..
1. Religious scripture.
2. Human pursuit for eternal life. I think anything that human seek should exists by nature. Because if something can't exists how can human mind demand it. eg. if human being feel thirsty, than there should be somthing to quench the thirst otherwise thirst would never existed.

Well, I don't know about others,but i belive in that because my spiritual guide says that wordly affairs are just a fake. We are born here because of our deeds that we had done in our previous life. He says that we had got this life by our good luck; God had given us a turn to correct ourself . So, we've to try our best to make our present life successful not only spiritually but socially also. If we will do good things then only after death Divine God will accept us. Our soul is nothing but a God itself only we have to recharge it by meditation, which is only possible when we will attach ourself with spiritual guide(Guru). He is a teacher who will only teach us the way for direct dialing to God.
God's and our soul is a divine power, but the difference is only that our soul is not activated. Once it will be activated, then we will directly linked to the supereme God. This phase is called Brahm Sthiti(State of soul when it becomes a part of Supreme God) and after achieving it we will be free from the cycle of death and life. And this will be the "Original Life" or "Heaven".

I strongly believe in the life after death without which this life has no purpose.
God says in Quran, I will test men and women to see if they are worthy of heaven by giving them wealth, keeping them poor, taking their child, giving them robust health to some, and sickness to others. God does so to test our faiths under all these different circumstances. And the end result of our actions in this life will be known when God on the Day of Judgment. He has made hell and heaven to reward or punish humans who have souls, free will and are being guided by God through his Prophets, Messengers and Angels. God has created nothing without any purpose. All animals are here to perform certain jobs to keep ecology in balance. If humans destroy one specie completely, they will have lots of problems for themselves. The well known example is of Wolves that American farmers killed, and later they brought wolves back from Canada to balance the ecology system. Scientists keep studying all creations of God to understand what is the purpose of their creation.
Man could never have understood about lots of things if God had not sent His Messengers to Guide mankind.

Yes, because Jesus said in the Bible that He was going to prepare a place for his children. He would not have said that if there were no life after death.

well, i dont quite believe that we return as ghosts, but i do believe in reincarnation and punishment (tho not eternal; i just cant believe a JUST god would punish someone eternally for a few decades of bad behavior; now, i do think the punishment will fit the crime!) and even a heaven. so, i do believe in life after death.

I do. People who think this is all there is don't have much to look forward to; old age, sickness, death of their friends & relatives. If there isn't life after death do me a favor - keep it a secret from me until I croak.

No, don't believe. I'm thinkin' we're either ashes or nasty decomp. That's all. The only life after death I can think of is maggots, flies, and worms on the dead.

Hinduism gives the answer.
The soul dwells as the inmost body of light and superconscious, universal mind of a series of nested bodies, each more refined than the next: physical, pranic, astral, mental. In our conscious mind we think and feel ourselves to be a physical body with some intangible spirit within it. Yet, right now our real identity is the soul that is sensing through its multiple bodies physical, emotional and mental experience. Recognizing this as reality, we powerfully know that life doesn't end with the death of the biological body. The soul continues to occupy the astral body, a subtle, luminous duplicate of the physical body. This subtle body is made of higher-energy astral matter and dwells in a dimension called the astral plane. If the soul body itself is highly evolved, it will occupy the astral/mental bodies on a very refined plane of the astral known as the Devaloka, "the world of light-shining beings." At death, the soul slowly becomes totally aware in its astral/mental bodies and it predominantly lives through those bodies in the astral dimension.
The soul functions with complete continuity in its astral/mental bodies. It is with these sensitive vehicles that we experience dream or "astral" worlds during sleep every night. The astral world is equally as solid and beautiful, as varied and comprehensive as the earth dimension-if not much more so. Spiritual growth, psychic development, guidance in matters of governance and commerce, artistic cultivation, inventions and discoveries of medicine, science and technology all continue by astral people who are "in-between" earthly lives. Many of the Veda hymns entreat the assistance of devas: advanced astral or mental people. Yet, also in the grey, lower regions of this vast, invisible dimension exist astral people whose present pursuits are base, selfish, even sadistic. Where the person goes in the astral plane at sleep or death is dependent upon his earthly pursuits and the quality of his mind.
Because certain seed karmas can only be resolved in earth consciousness and because the soul's initial realizations of Absolute Reality are only achieved in a physical body, our soul joyously enters another biological body. At the right time, it is reborn into a flesh body that will best fulfill its karmic pattern. In this process, the current astral body-which is a duplicate of the last physical form-is sluffed off as a lifeless shell that in due course disintegrates, and a new astral body develops as the new physical body grows. This entering into another body is called reincarnation: "re-occupying the flesh."
During our thousands of earth lives, a remarkable variety of life patterns are experienced. We exist as male and female, often switching back and forth from life to life as the nature becomes more harmonized into a person exhibiting both feminine nurturing and masculine intrepidness. We come to earth as princesses and presidents, as paupers and pirates, as tribals and scientists, as murderers and healers, as atheists and, ultimately, God-Realized sages. We take bodies of every race and live the many religions, faiths and philosophies as the soul gains more knowledge and evolutionary experience.
Therefore, the Hindu knows that the belief in a single life on earth, followed by eternal joy or pain is utterly wrong and causes great anxiety, confusion and fear. Hindus know that all souls reincarnate, take one body and then another, evolving through experience over long periods of time. Like the caterpillar's metamorphosis into the butterfly, death doesn't end our existence but frees us to pursue an even greater development.
