I wish I could rationally believe there is one, but it goes against basic science in every way possible, so logically I'd say no. The thought of an infinite darkness scares me though.

I don't really reject the idea of afterlife, nor do I say for certain that there is one.
No real set in stone way to know without kicking the bucket. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OKAY! *kills self* /s

I believe there is, and I believe there is a god, It just doesnt make sense that the universe came from nothing and that there was no one behind it, so I believe that god is real, and for the after life thing, of course I do, when we die we go to an afterlife because it doesnt make sense that we just see nothing for the rest of existence, besides, we dont know what true nothingness is.

Applying the simple fact that energy cannot be destroyed, i like to think we are energy and when we die, we just get our concious released from our body, free to explore wherever you want to go, be it the earth itself or the whole universe. Because why not? Exploring the whole universe sounds like a fun thing to do while still being concious, but just without a physical body :P

eh, I don't see anything that validates the existence of one. Seems to be nothing more then the coping strategy for dealing with the death of loved ones and hated ones - and a way to ensure the continued behavior of children who were reared to act good otherwise they will be punished, not be good for the sake of being good.

We're nothing more then a complicated bundle of neurons. With enough time and force we can completely alter a person's personality and behavior, to the extent that they can no longer be recognized as the same person. There's nothing to suggest that some aspect of our "self" exists as an entity that persists after our body dies. If you snap a Britney Spear's CD in half "Oops I did it again" doesn't somehow start playing on a different dimension or something.

Any belief in an afterlife is simply an excuse to not be the best you can be. Start jogging. Lose weight. Pick up a hobby. Never stop learning. You only get one life, might as well make the best of it.

I sure hope so. But if there's none, let's just make the most out of what we currently have since we only got one shot to live a fulfilling life. No respawns. No retry. No 1up. Just this single given life we have. Carpe diem!

No, was there a before-life you recall? No. Will it be the same after death? Most likely.
Even if there is "something" after dying I don't think it can be called after-life because you won't remember it as the same person you were. Too deep hard to explain...

Science has not yet grasped the concept of the soul! Since no one knows or can do any kind of scientific experiments regarding this subject! No one can be 100% sure there is no life after death..

I believe there is a life after death and that one will be eternal...Our bodies are not ours... simply a vessel we borrow until our time comes... So be good and you will be rewarded in the afterlife :-)

We were not created for nothing.. I believe we were created to be tested which one of us is best in deeds :-)

Potentially. I was brought up Christian so I kind of have a wish to believe there is something better after death, but at the same time I can't help but feel that there's just nothing :T

Well, since the soul has weight and exists (not very accurate but somewhat true), we can't be sure of anything that occurs post mortem, for all we know it could just turn into anti-matter causing afterlife to be an ethereal prison of sorts:P Personally, I like to think that once dead, it's the end of everything, that nothing exists post-mortem, despite what religion likes to claim. If afterlife really existed, we'd have at least valid hints towards it's existence that aren't only present in religion. To sum up, once you die, nothing happens, black emptiness for all eternity at best, black emptiness for all eternity while you are conscious of it at worst:P

I don't believe life after death. All I want to do is sleep anyway. I feel like I don't get enough. I know I wont technically be sleeping but I'd rather there be nothing.
