God removes 90% of their brain and sends them back as Christians.

I don't believe in heaven, I'm an atheist.\n\nBut if there is a heaven I am definitely going.  I'm a great guy and do nice things, I let spiders out instead of crushing them and hold doors open for old people.  I'm nice, and I don't believe God requires a particular religion or belief to get in.  It's all about your actions, not what you profess to believe.\n\nBut I'll probably accept Jesus into my heart right before I die, just to be sure.

I'm not going to give you the comforting fiction here. I'll just tell you the truth. Nothing happens to people after death. The last thing that happens to a person is the experience of the body failing and then ceasing to function. All the body systems, including brain processing, stop functioning. The individual loses consciousness for the last time. That final experience is the end. The person's lifeless body is then removed, etc. But THE PERSON no longer exists.

If you are on the coasts, you won't havea problem, if you go to the south or the midwest, nobody will understand you.  Big cities are also more secular.\n\nBasically in New England (from New York and North) atheism is fine.  Florida, Southern California and Washington you are fine as an atheist.  In the bible belt (south and midwest) probably the 2nd question you will be asked when you meet someone is "What church do you go to?"  If you say you are jewish or atheist, they will say "Oh... so what church do you go to?"  I'm dead serious.  I've seen it happen.

In some sense, society and culture can be viewed as a non-material aspect of our beings, so you have to be very careful about what you mean in this question. No, I don't believe in an after-life. When we die, we're dead and we have no consciousness left. It's like a candle that has been blown out. The flame no longer exists. I don't believe in spirits in the sense of some disembodied energy with consciousness. \n\nOn the other hand, I regard myself as a spiritual atheist. I believe that life is to be lived fully and happily. I believe that we should look around us and enjoy the beauty of the universe. I believe that we should love, and learn, and teach, and help others to achieve their goals. But I need no after-life to induce me to do these things. It is simply part of having a good life.

If indeed there is a heaven of sorts.....some kind of afterlife.....I could only imagine all living beings would eventually end up there....from the beginning of life.\nG*d is this theory would not be an entity like an old man sitting in heaven making decisions but more of a spiritual force.\nThe writing of the bible or invention of any of the worlds religions would only effect this hypothetical afterlife in that they may push a persons consciousness in one direction or anothers, if indeed this consciousness survived death. It is possible though that only the life force itself continues and the consciousness itself ceases to exist at the time of death.

there is a lot of researches going on about this topic "life after death".people have different beliefs but one can know what really happens only if one dies!its a mystery again and no one can tell exactly what happens.biologically,death happens when the body functions stops due to any reason for that matter and then there is no life in the person who is dead.just gone forever.it need not be necessary that he/she has to go somewhere (hell or heaven) after dead.people create myths like these:if u do good deed during the course of your life,u will reach the heaven(the place of God) and would be treated well,and if u do evil things , u will reach the hell where the devil would torture u etc.....all these myths are created only to make people do good things and be good.but i think there is no such thing as life after death.i believe in science so lets see what science has to say about this in the coming future...........

Usually you are taken to the funeral home. Then you are either buried or cremated.

Ah ha! Well you  must read of the jewish after life called sheol than you must consider Christians have judgement day. Now why would the dead have to be raised to be judged again. My answer is sheol exsists now, however maybe someone can scripture me wrong. However I think there are places of great harmony in the afterlife. I think you have stages if you were bad that you must go through first as well.

Nope.  Will just sit back and watch, eating popcorn.  Once the religious people kill each other off me and the rest of the Pagans/Wiccans, the agnostics and atheists will finally be left in peace.

Nope, everyone dies.\n\nIf you're talking about life after death, than I guess it depends on what you believe.

I had an out of body experience... I was hit by a drunk driver and was in a coma. I was clinically dead in that coma which lasted 22 days. \n\nI went through a tunnel and there was light at the other end... hence I was still alive after my death... hence... there is a God... and all the atheists will find that out when it is too late to do anything about it. One bows one's knee now before the God of creation... or one will be forced to make that bow later... in great fear and trembling.

The false gospel of reincarnation is just that, a false gospel.  There is no point in asking opinions in this question, it is a lie.  This is like asking What is your opinion on 5+5?  Who cares what my opinion is, the answer is 10 even if in my opinion it is 7.  After you die you go to heaven until the end of the 7 year tribulation and the battle of Armageddon, then all the souls throughout history who have accepted Christ as their savior will go the the new earth, it will will a perfect place, just like the Garden of Eden was until the sin of Adam.  You won't go to purgatory, Jesus went through that for us, and you definitely won't come back to earth as a squirrel or anything else.

My religion has an idea about what happens after death, but it's a little different from others.\nWhen I die, the components of my body are supposed to go back into nature via the natural processes. I am not supposed to be cremated or embalmed or sealed into an impermeable casket. I am to be buried in dirt in the simplest possible wooden box, so that the earth can re-claim the material that has made up my formerly-living body.\nI will not remain aware of myself as a human. I may experience some molecular "memory" as I am assimilated into various other organisms.\nIf I leave a child behind when I go, my genetic material continues to live. If I leave recorded art or literature, a part of my mind continues to live. If someone loves me while I'm alive and remembers me fodly after I die, then a part of my emotion survives.\nThat's about it. I don't need more than that.

Atheism just means you don't believe in god. It doesn't mean you are a strict materialist (only believing in the material world). That is something else. People are forever confusing the two. So an atheist could believe in life after death. And a person could believe in god & still think after death there is nothing.\n\nNow that we've cleared that up, anyone who says they have no fear of death probably is too far away from it to be able to comprehend what it means. If you didn't fear death you wouldn't fear anything else either - including ridicule, losing a boyfriend, not getting a date to the prom & all the things people worry about.\n\nAs for me, I don't believe in god & I don't know what happens after death. I guess I'll find out. Yes it's scary because it's the unknown. But I can't make myself believe in a pleasant fairytale that just doesn't make sense to me. I have to live with how I am.
