I don't believe in anything supernatural. including God and afterlife.

I don't want to start a big controversy so I'll leave it at that, I agree with filletofspam.

For those people who are curious about death and what happens afterwards, I have a few biblical references that might shed some light on things. However, having read the comments, a majority seem to think that there is nothing after death just becoming worm food. It is to this end that these remarks are made. Take it or not, there is a choice to accept it or not.
Hebrews 9 verse 27, And as it is appointed man to die once, but after this the judgment. In 1 Corinthians 15 Beginning at verse 3, For I, Paul, delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over 500 of the brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep,(translated, died). Pick it up in verse 12,Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is in vain and faith is also vain. Verse 20,But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep,(died). To verse 35, But some will say, How are the dead raised up?And with what body do they come? Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies(heavenly bodies), and terrestrial bodies(earthly bodies), but the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another. Verse 42, So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown/made in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness but raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. And so it is written that the first Adam became a living being, Christ became a life-giving Spirit. The natural man is first and the spiritual man is second.
There are many other verses throughout Scripture that state that death, physical death, is only part of the journey. The life afterwards is the one we all can look forward to but it takes a childlike, not childish, faith. As I said at the onset people will have to make a choice for themselves. This is by no means meant to sound superior or pious but humbly and truthfully.

I believe that once you die that you're just dead. There is no after life and there is no soul that is passed on to an after life. Once you die that is it, it's the end..there is no heaven and no hell to fall back on.

I feel that people created heaven and hell as a safety blanket to make death a little more comforting. It makes people happy to know that when they die it won't be the end but if they follow in the ways of a God that they will be greeted with eternal happiness and if they disobey then they will burn in hell. I feel it is a system created by the weak that cannot accept death for what it is -- an eternal ending point.

No, I don't want to die.

Check out this website about near death experiences:
http://www.near-death.com/

They've interviewed people that have had near death experiences from several cultures and religions. A lot of it is the same of seeing the light, and having an expanded consciousness.

HOWEVER, the experience is interpreted based on the religion that the person is familiar with. In other words, christians would say that they saw God. Hindus would claim that they say their god, etc.

You can be reincarnated ( Life after death) to a animal or any living thing that breathes or you can escape the cycle of reincarnation ( Life after death)

Now to address certain concerns about the Bible, and whether or not that version is what really happens when you die...

First, we must postulate that God is the embodiment of truth. This is our first premise, and if God does not embody truth, then the thing we are referring to is not God, but perhaps a separate entity. God = truth.

Second, we know that the truth makes sense. When all the facts are known, and when all the facts are true, they will always make sense. Think of this as a spiritual law of the universe. Its also why God's ways cannot be mysterious - if you KNOW the information, and the information is TRUE, it is not mysterious, and it always makes sense. If you do not know all the facts, or if you know all the facts but some are not true, only then would there be a mystery and things wouldn't make sense.

So God makes sense.

Now we're told by Catholics that by living for only 30 years on this earth and you didn't do good enough (for sake of simplicity lets exclude purgatory from the discussion), you could spend the rest of eternity burning in hell forever and ever.

This does not make sense.

We're told by protestants that you can feed the poor, cure diseases, solve the world's economic problems, end famine, never so much as step on an ant, and essentially take mankind into a golden era of enlightenment - you're still spending the rest of eternity burning in hell forever and ever if you dont believe a 2000 year old Jewish zombie who was his own father sacrified himself to himself so he could remove a mystic force created when a rib-woman ate an apple from a tree because of a talking snake.

This does not make sense.

That you are a group of parts existing at one point in space time, but liberated by the separation from your physical self so as to have new dimensions of movement which can result in the reassembly of those parts at a new point in space time...

Sorry, but... THAT MAKES SENSE!

Also, I studied comparative religion for several years. In case you haven't figured it out. :P

Ok, I'm done now. :PPP

You never move again. You aren't able to speak, touch, see, or do anything. You completely leave the world and become one with the ground. At least, so I believe.

I don't believe in God or any kind of afterlife.

Dead is dead. After we die there is no consciousness. The only part of us that survives is our legacy, our offspring, the people's lives we touched, and hopefully the world being a better place than it would have been without us.

Jesus told the thief on the cross, today you will be with me in paradise. If you believe that you will be with Jesus when you die. If you don't believe that, you will be in the grave until Jesus returns. It's your choice to make.

Like what does happen?
Imagen this, were all just doing our regular things that we do. And then a few or decades later we die.
*happy thoughts* lolz
But ok we die, now what? do we just go into a black hole of nothing?
Its like we are suppose to be alive experiencing things and reincarnations can suck it!
We probally actually have 9 lives.
All our past lives we have found planets.
and they are the following: mercury, venus. jupitor, earth and so on.
Well we could most likely go to the next planet and have it explained the same way we have it now. My friends and I are always concerdicitn ourselves if life really exists. I really think it doesnt. Thats why we never remember our births. YEa where young but omg its just complicated
I hoped I sorta help probally not but w.e
