There really is no way to truly know either way what happens after you die. As a Christian though I believe that after we die our soul is taken to God, where judgement is passed and God decides if we are worthy or not of Heaven. I don't have the strongest faith, to be honest, sometimes when I think about that it sounds silly. Which is horrible cause I should believe stronger than I do. But with everything that's going on in my life, it's very hard for me to truly believe like I'm supposed too. It was one of my New Year's resolutions to work on my faith. Who knows how it'll work out.
Considering there are ghosts I think you can wander but I don't know an easy way for me would be not to think about death and just simply think of it like you die and pieces of your soul stay inside with the people that loved you :) And go to heaven , and if you died an old fart with no friends And family well then you wander , and if you were a murder u then go to hell gauh I'm talking like these places actually exist
I personally don't believe in an afterlife. Especially since we have no way of knowing what happens to us, the living don't have any 'sixth sense' to speak of and the dead have ceased to know what has happened to them. I personally think that once someone has died... They've just... Died. I'm wary of ghosts, however, as I haven't had any personal experience with them.

I believe that there is a heaven and a hell. That God exists and if you want to go to heaven, you have to believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
What strenthens me in my beliefs is knowing that there are evil spirits and demons in this world from my experiences, and that there has to be a God if the devil exists.

I'm not sure. I believe in reincarnation... But I also believe in ghosts, so I don't really know which one it is. I'm leaning more towards reincarnation, though.
I don't think about after death a lot but I took a Roman Civilization course in my first year of university and I rather like something my prof told us. There was an author (can't remember which one it was now) who believed that millions of atoms made up a person entirely. Not just physically. It was his opinion that when one died, their atoms were scattered into the universe and would go on to create other beings. The cycle would repeat infinitely and then eventually all come back and recreate the exact same person.
Before telling us that, she had asked how many people in the class were afraid of death. There were three or four who admitted to it. After she finished with that little story, she asked again. All of those people said that it wasn't scary when it was put like that. x'D
If I were going to believe anything would happen, it would totally be that. Otherwise, I think it's just like going to sleep and that's it.

I don't really believe in a particular religion or anything (no offense). Instead, I believe after we die, we become food & energy for the bugs & earth and what not.. and that's it.
As for souls, I halfly want to believe that people come back in life and take the form of a living creature, or another human.., but is wiped clean of any past memories & starts anew.
The reason for only half wanting to believe this is because I feel like my mind is just trying to keep my hopes up. Kind of like a kid believing in Santa coming down the chimney & traveling the world.. but has doubts on him at the same time.
Though my mind keeps up with "anything is possible in the whole universe," so idk..
I'll just go with the flow.

I am a Buddhist (but I also grew up Catholic if anyone was wondering), and my religion believes that after you die, you reincarnate until you have all good karma so you can break free of the cycle and go to Nirvana/Paradise. I really like this concept of afterlife, I feel like it's the most civil (there is no hell, Earth is hell, and it's really not that bad since we are all living in it), but I don't like fully embracing a belief like that which cannot be answered or has any proof for one answer. It is what I hope happens, but I also hope that when we die we can be with those that we love and spend eternity with them. I'm really fine with any kind of after life that doesn't involve pain or torture.
