Do you believe in the afterlife?

I believe there is more than this life...but I can't define what it is. I was raised as christian but could never accept the simplistic nature of religion even as a young child. So religion is not for me. I guess I just think it's more complicated and kind of beyond our understanding ..and we are meant to wonder and search for meaning.

The notion that this is all there is makes me feel that life would be meaningless. And I don't believe that.
But in the end we all should follow what works for us and accept the same for others without judging. I don't believe anyone is punished for not towing the company line.

As a teen I was very suicidal and the only thing that eventually cured me was this realization that no matter what we do we can never really cease to be. So my belief wasn't based on what I wished to be true but what I believed to be true.

I don't believe it but I like the concept. Far too many people got ripped off in this life due to no fault of their own. It's nice to think that there's something waiting somewhere for them that can't be exploited by common shitbags. But I'd be surprised if there was anything at all.

I am a Christian and I do believe in an afterlife.

I think that when you die, your brain dies. When your brain dies, your consciousness disappears. Like a program running in RAM on a computer, as soon as it looses power it ceases to exist. The difference is that there is no hard drive that can get you back into RAM.
I do have a fantasy though; It would be cool if when you die you could relive your life as many times as you want. You would be able to "wake up" at any moment in your life and make different choices, and take many different paths. You do this for as long as you want until you live a life that you're satisfied with. Once that happens you get to choose whether you should cease to exist; End the game so to speak.

I think it highly unlikely, but I can't rule it out completely, I suppose. So I'll just go listen to Afterlife by Avenged 7x and not worry about it.
