The body "dies" but we are pure energy. Pure energy is never destroyed, only changes forms.

Anyone who thinks there is, has a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of death.

Anyone who continues to think there is having looked up the word in a dictionary is in a psychologically clinical state of denial.

There may be an aftermath to a life, after death, but there is no afterlife. That's just wishful thinking gone way further than can should be considered healthily imaginative.

When a person decides that there is, not only, an afterlife, but goes on to construct transparently artificial aspirational qualifications that define what the parameters of the afterlife will be for individuals, that's nothing less than delusion. And delusions are dangerous.

Only if God choses to resurrect that person.

"But as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." -Ecclesiastes 9:5

When a person dies, that's it. He doesn't think, feel pain, or anything. He ceases to exist.

"An able-bodied man dies and lies vanquished; and an earthling expires, and where is he? Man also has to lie down and does not get up. Until heaven is no more they will not wake up, nor will they be aroused from their sleep."-Job 14:10, 12

Death is often likened in the Bible to sleep. (John 11:11-14) Despite traditional Church teachings, death is NOT a transition into another body. Death is simply the end of life.

The only prospect, then, that a person who dies has is a resurrection back to life on "the last day" (John 11:24). Jesus promised "all those in the memorial tombs will hear God's voice and come out". (John 5:28, 29) Likewise, Paul said "there is going to be a resurrection". (Acts 24:15) Mention of a resurrection in all these Scriptures point to a future time when the dead will be brought to life. They are not gleefully skipping about in heaven, nor are they being tortured in hell. Rather, they are at rest in the grave, awaiting to hear God's voice to live once more. -Job 14:15

Well, what does the Bible tell you?

If you turn to God and do His will - the sleep of death then resurrection.

If you turn your back on God - total, eternal death. Hell is just speaking of either death (Hades or Sheol) or the word Gehenna, which was the place where they burnt the rubbish outside the walls of Jerusalem.

But there is just the possibility that you will know what you are missing at judgement.
We are told by Jesus that there will be crying and gnashing of teeth when some find themselves rejected.

Of course there is no life after death, don't you think there would be some positive, tangeable evidence for it after all this time.

To anyone out there who can prove it, and the onus is on you to prove it, not on others to prove that there isn't, take Randi's $1,000,000 challenge, see details below, if you lie and say you don't want it, or you don't do it for the money, give it to children in need.

I look forward very much to the picture of you in the paper with your cheque, donated to children in need by a dead person.

I don't believe you die and that's the end of it.

There has to be something in life after death, just not sure what it is.

Too many people have had experiences which would tell you that it's true

No. Simple as that. Death means non-existence. It wouldn't be called dying if we would go to hell or heaven after death, right?

Well, stone-age man certainly believed there was an after-life.

Are you suggesting that we, modern man, question the scientific obnservations, assumptions and suggestions of...stone-age man?

If you are, there would be some mighty pissed off people around 70,000 years ago!

And, if they had had a language they would, most likely, have been more than willing to tell you off!

for some there is death after death

Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

When you're dead, so is your consciousness , therefore 'you' (no matter how you define what you are,) will cease to exist.
That is what I know, for sure.

But I head something cool tho, when you're dying, your body will release some kind of hormones in to the brain, and you'll
begin to see things, things you want to see (I hope) and you'll lose time and space perspective, so it would stretch on and on.

I think that's the closest to heaven we can get.
