    I'm still trying to figure out what life before death is.

    I believe that its a great construct and something that keeps people in line. I personally think you just wither and rot.

    There's no "neutral" option for agnostics? Either way, hell vs nothingness, I'd rather not obsess over it, having had suicidal thoughts not long ago. Call it cowardice, but, I'm more focused on the present, for better or for worse.

    Now that I think about it, I do believe there's life after death.

    After you die, everyone else keeps living on. The world doesn't stop for you, and in time you and everyone you ever met will be forgotten.

    I find this an incredibly freeing prospect.

    I would like too but I'm not sure if I do. Maybe I don't want to? The thought of dying doesn't intimidate me but thinking about what happens afterwards kind of does. There are things in this life that I would Like to forget altogether and not have it affect me in the after life so, life after death? I don't want it but I don't want to reincarnated either.

    If there is, I don't know about it. I try not to worry about those kinds of possibilities.

    However, to me, reincarnation/the past life theory seems more likely if the concept of a spirit/soul is in fact true. For some reason I'm absolutely convinced I was a thief in a past life.

    No, although I would be open to the idea if I was given some sort of evidence.

    That's a pretty cool way of thinking about it.

    As a Christian I believe that when I die I will go to Heaven. I just cannot see it all ending when we die.

    I don't believe there is life after death. I don't know though if I will ever live again, not like in reincarnation, but more like.... whatever makes me 'me', if that will ever be again. You wouldn't ever really know though, there's just no way to prove something like that.

    I don't know, and I don't think I have any right to say whether there is or isn't. I will do good to do good, not to guarantee my place in a non-confirmed afterlife. I don't know, I never shall, and it's not reasonable to say anything about what might be the most mysterious parts of human existence (and non-existence).
