Are you seriously expecting that there are people here in Yahoo Answers (or here on Planet Earth for that matter) who KNOW what happens after death? No one knows what happens after you die. People who pretend to know are either charlatans or fools.

I don't think you have to believe in God to believe in some kind of afterlife, there are many relgions in the world each one with it's own beliefs and viewpoints.  I personally believe in a soul, but that does not automatically mean I believe in Heaven.  I do believe something wonderful will happen when I die, I am just not sure what that is yet, and I hope it is along time before I find out.  Maybe he was there, because evryone was thinking about him.  It's hard to say.

I believe in today's day and age we see people coming back to life after being dead many, Many times!  However, we no longer see it as a miracle but as an act of science, medicine, etc.  I've seen people how have dead from very minor things and others how should be dead (and some that has) and then they end up coming back and being perfectly fine again.  I think the human race is taking to much credit for that and calling it good medicine and I am a firm believer that it's not ONLY good medicine but also a GREAT God!!

Sure. As an atheist I am not afraid of what happens after I die. Just how I die. I won't know it after I am dead so it is nothing to fear. It'll be just like it was before I was born.

I believe in immortality through ascension of planes and dimensions of reality in which we constantly evolve, are always aware, an the closer you get to reaching your ultimate form the more talents and abilities and knowledge and wisdom you'll have in this current life. It's not quite reincarnation because that entails dying and being born again new. What i believe is you never die, and are never renewed.

It is really funny how people have different ideas about what happens when we die. The Christendom, spiritualist, atheist and scientist all have their own idea or theory about what happens after we die.\n\nIt is hilarious because i believe in nothing more than us die, decaying, turning into dust and that's it.\n\n\nChristendom believe that, nobody will live forever and that's true. The body of the dead on goes into the grave. It decays. Their spirit immediately goes either in the presence of God or out, waiting the final resurrection. There will be a resurrection of all bodies in the end, a resurrection unto life or a resurrection unto damnation. And you are entitled to the the former if you have faith through Christ. This is funny cos i don't believe in DAMNATION.\n\nSpiritualist also think that, this earth is like a veil of illusion. The mortal mind obfuscates the spiritual truth, which is the love of God. And they think that when we die, the veil falls down, the filter is gone, and we're in that state of pure love which is God.\n\nThe atheist accepts the reality that when you die, that is the end. That is it. Therefore when they are living, life is all they can ever know. They can't know death. So we have to do our part now to make this a better life for ourselves and for the rest of humanity and all of the life on this planet.\n\nScientifically or what scientist say is that, when we die we decay and rot. NOthing more nothing less. And that is the simple part of it i believe and understand. \n\nOn the other hand, if you don't want to get decayed by fungus and bacteria, you could get mummified.

I don't think there is a life after death, only what people remember you for. What's imporatant in life is to be a good person, and that memory will live on long after you die. I live my life because I am alive. Why else would I live?

I think I have always been since God has always been. I see myself as a piece of God. After this life I will go and evaluate what I have learned and what I still need to learn for my own enlightenment. Then when I am ready I will choose to be born again or maybe I will choose to help other souls that are in human bodies. I don't believe in heaven and hell either. I don't go in for the whole sin concept. Just learning lessons.

No, but I know some great books you can read if you're interested. They are fantastic and each one gives you a better understanding of just what it is and how it differs for each individual according to their faiths and beliefs. Once I lost my daughter I really wanted to know more about all of that and I thought the best way to prove that there really is life after death was to read about people who had had these experiences. Very Fascinating!\n\nI'm talking about people who actually died and came back to life at hospitals and such. Not something brought on by witchcraft or the choking game.

That depends on what you choose to believe.  If you're talking about the pieces of absolute proof the human race has gathered up to establish credibly that our existence continues on in some form after we die, there are none.\n\nThere really aren't.  \n\nHumanity has yet to prove scientifically that our consciousness doesn't just cease existing when we drop dead.\n\nThere are many things which suggest our existence continues in some form, but which you believe is a personal matter.  \n\nFor instance, do you believe the ghost stories?  What about the voices heard in white noise, and "spectral photography"?  Do you accept those as proof of human spirits, or is it all the impact of radio waves leaving a weak residual sound in your static and a trick of the light on the lens?\n\nWhat about the Bible?  Is that proof to you that there is an afterlife because you are willing to accept on faith what it says is truthful?\n\nThe Buddhists seem to be able to pull off some pretty spiritually amazing feats.  Do you suppose they're correct about the nature of the Universe?\n\nHow about that white light?  Is that Heaven, where all of our loved ones who have passed on are waiting to greet us, or is it our dying equivalent of REM Intrusion, as modern medicine has recently suggested... nothing more than a fanciful dream of our brains which has found its way into our final waking moments?\n\nWhat about people who have needed exorcisms?  Do you figure it is really demons possessing their bodies and tormenting them, or is it a mental illness ravaging their minds?\n\nIS John Edwards crossing over, or is he just a very clever con artist well practiced at his cold readings?  Are the messages he delivers to people really from dead relatives, or is he just telling them the things all people want to hear about loved ones gone on because it hurts too much to think they're simply lost?\n\nThese are all very personal questions, at this point answered much more in the heart than they are in the mind.  Maybe one day we'll finally be able to say once and for all what happens after we die, but as of today, no one really knows, even if they truly believe.

Jesus' Resurrection Assures Us\nThere is Life after Death

Sure, why not?  Who is to say with any precision what happens after this life?  I have no personal rememberances of any past life, but then I don't recall what I did in June either.  \n\nMany claim that since the Bible does not endorse reincarnation directly, then reincarnation does not exist.  However, the Bible may imply it, indirectly, in three instances in the Gospels, (if I recall...LOL)  And with hundreds of millions of non-Christians, non-Muslims and non-Jewish people around the world, reincarnation is an accepted fact of life; to Hindus, to Buddhists.  \n\nAny one person answering this question, with a definite Yes, or a definite No, is just parroting what they have been told, since they cannot objectively document it.  \nIt wouldn't surprise me, if God utilized reincarnation.  \nTo say otherwise, is an example of me circumscribing God in my image.  I can't wait to see the end of this excellent movie called "Life".... or is there any end........?

Yes,Of course! According to various religious beliefs, there is definitely a new life after death. The bodies, after death, will be disposed off, but the life in the body, that is the soul, will be born again in another form, either as an animal or a human being again!. there are various instances wherein,some children have spoken of their earlier life with details,as to what he/she was in the previous birth, the location, parents, aquiatances, etc. On physical verification by impartial bodies, these have been found fully factual, and correct.

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.

If I had to pick one of your options it would be 5=> God is present in our own self and enjoying his creation through us.\n\nWhile I am very uncomfortable with a personification of God, I do believe that there is divine energy that runs through each of us and everything in this existence.  I believe that our consious mind is tapped into that energy and that we can direct it as we navigate through this life.  \n\nI think that when we die we will return to source as it were and be reunited with this energy source.  I believe this energy source is commonly called god and the reuniting is more commonly called heaven.  I think after a brief rest at home (heaven) we will set back out to learn more things using a new lifetime to learn new lessons.

Atheists believe that at death one ceases to exist. There is no afterlife or eternal soul that continues in eternity. All there is to look forward to is our inevitable death, the future death of mankind, and the universe. It is in the face of this future that the atheist must seek to find meaning and purpose for his own existence.\n\nThe Eastern and New Age religions that hold to a pantheistic worldview teach that one goes through an endless cycle of reincarnation until the cycle is broken and the person becomes one with the divine. What form a person becomes in the next life depends on the quality of life lived in the previous life. When one unites with the divine, he ceases to exist as an individual, but becomes part of the divine life force, like a drop of water returning to the ocean.\n\nThose who hold to the animistic or tribal religions believe that after death the human soul remains on the earth or travels to join the departed spirits of the ancestors in the underworld, also called the realm of the shadows. For eternity they wander in darkness, experiencing neither joy nor sorrow. Some of the spirits of the deceased may be called upon to aid or torment those on earth.\n\nIslam teaches that at the end of history, God will judge the works of all men. Those whose good deeds outweigh their bad deeds will enter into paradise. The rest will be consigned to hell. The Koran teaches that in paradise men will be drinking wine and entertained by heavenly maidens and that they may take several of these maidens for their wives.\n\nMost worldviews must accept their belief in the afterlife on untested faith, but the Christian hope is sure for two reasons; the resurrection of Christ and the testimony of God's Word. The Bible gives us the true view of what happens after death. However, many Christians have a misunderstanding of the afterlife. Some believe that they become one of the angels, others believe they go into a state of "soul sleep," while others believe they will be floating on clouds playing harps. In this article, we will examine some popular misconceptions of what lies beyond the grave and perceive what the Bible teaches.\n\nChristians can be assured that death is not something to be feared. Instead, at death we arrive home in heaven. To live means we exist in a foreign country. Death has lost its sting and now is a victory through the resurrection of Jesus our Lord.\n\n\ndeathonline.net/decomposition/index.htm
