My thoughts on this would have to be that in my religion which is Christan that you go to a place other than earth and live happly for the rest of eternity but, then again you get the thoughts in mind. If everything has a start then it would have a end. No one knows when their life is "Over" For all we know we could just be someones thoughts or something or their dream, I know you have to stretch your imagination out on that one but if you really think about it we know nothing about where we started from nor where we are going to end. We see death as our end because we dont ever see that person alive any more, but what if, what if they are still alive. Just not here? I believe in personally that we go to God's kingdom and live with him forever. But thats my thought//opinion. But then you start thinking. If it had a start, shouldn't it end? I mean i'm not trying to say that any religion is wrong I"m just putting a thought out there. What I'm trying to say is that if everything has a start where would the end be? I keep hearing "There is no end to the kingdom of God" But i dont know like i said, this is my opinion just putting it out there for others to think about, I am not saying any religion is wrong or right I'm just saying, this is my opinion.

it depends on your religion mate, if you atheisiss, then u die, if you christian u g heavean, if you believe in god heaven, f you worship devils you go to hell. And then there are lunies ho thing different and have wierd theroirs lke reincarnatons and such. So tis all depends on u and the religion u have and the theiroies u beileve in! I believe u goes to heavean and live happy, or if yous bad then hell is awaiting you/

I a not afraid if that is what you mean. Concerning what it will happen, who knows, maybe we will go to hell, maybe to heaven, as long as i go to a good place, that is what counts to me.

I made some bad things in the past, but i did some good things too, i guess the average is good, so i i will go to heaven just because i have a clean conscience, and i have ask for forgiveness to the ones i have heart.

Before i die, despite the fact that i beleave in good or not, i will try to clean my conscience as much as i can, just because i do not know if there is really a hell and a heaven waiting for us.

What happens after death, i do not care really, i am sure i will go to a good place, close to the ones who love me and that i love too.

I think we are what we are. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. You are what you are when you die. Actually, I think that life as we know it is regulated by magnetism and motion or vibration. I think if we could find a way to stop movement, then we would be able to stop time, and possibly time travel by creating the frequency we want to go to from that section of stopped time. Back to our spirits. Our spirits are held in our bodies by magnetism. Once we are set free from these mortal material shells we have to be able to keep our spirit together or risk being dispersed into the unified energy of space. If one is a good person with their energy all together, I think they will have their spirit when they die, and according to what thought pattern they have been thinking their whole life, they will go to that place, or transcend to another plane for another game of life. I think this life is to refine our spirits. We can refine our spirit exactly by denying our mortal desires. I think that every life form is a "pattern" with it's own lessons and experiences. We are placed into certain life forms to learn a lesson. Humans have the highest ability to manipulate energy, and I think it is one of the last tests before our spirit is released from our mortal bodies. If we cannot train our spirit then it will dissipate, if we can then we move on to where we always thought we would be, or to another plane to learn another lesson. And, yes, I do believe in G-d, Jesus, and heaven.

Well this is a Big question? No one knows thats answer corectly. But as every thing only moves in the universe, same after death we that is which we called soul, only moves in the universe and again come back to the earth as a new born baby.

What happens after death, you ask? Quite simply, a process of vile physiological changes ensue after a man is finished polluting the ether with his very presence; some of which are so unspeakably horrific even the Enlightened Misanthrope dare not mention them in mixed company. One might even refer to such discussion as the “last taboo.” Ah, and I had such fond memories of flatulence holding this esteemed title. Nowadays, the subject of gaseous anomalies and their lingering odors are all but passé on major television networks and other forms of guttural bombardment.

But I digress. I think the English alchemist and magician, Aleister Crowley summed up man’s fate quite nicely with the following truism:

Heeheee…that one never fails to illicit demented, twisted smiles from this normally sullen face. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that warm and fuzzy stuff never fail to peak my morbid curiosity in all things, well, morbid. Oh, did I mention I don’t discuss the vile details of decomposition in mixed company? I lied.

Since some brave soul had the nerve to start a thread on one of my favorite topics, I may as well honor it with a detailed answer. But I warn you, I’m no more a forensic scientist than Bush is a “conservative president”. My only credentials are a macabre fascination with dead things and a keen interest in the process of human decomposition. The following is not for the faint of heart, so leave now if easily disturbed at nature’s natural process of decay. If you decide to stay, I will not be held responsible for any resulting nausea or vomiting.

So then boys and girls, let’s get into it (or six feet under it), shall we? You may be appalled to learn how ghoulishly “active” the human body remains after physical death. When the heart stops beating and the lungs stop breathing, the cells are deprived of oxygen. Thus commences a gruesome chain of events, beginning with a gradual cellular death that starts in the brain and ends with the skin. Brain cells will usually start dying if deprived of oxygen for three minutes, but skin and bone cells can stay alive for several days. This is why you’ll see (if you’re lucky..hehe), the nails continue to grow on a “stiff” some time after death.

Rigor Mortis, which is a stiffening of the muscles, sets in after three hours and can linger up to 72 hours after death, or, until the muscle proteins begin to decompose. What causes Rigor Mortis you say? You say you don’t want to know? Too bad – I’m going to tell you anyway (wicked laughter…heeheeeeeheeeee).

At death, the corpse relaxes completely into a state known as, “primary flaccidity.” But after a few hours, changes in muscle energy containers (ATP-ADP) shift into that dreadful condition otherwise known as Rigor Mortis. Exact onset can depend on a number of factors, including the person’s age, musculature, gender, and so forth. A child, for example, may not exhibit any discernable signs of this condition. It is ventured this has something to do with their smaller muscle mass. I happen to think it’s because children are not “real” people to begin with, so why should they decompose as such? Dogs certainly don’t seem to think they’re human. They see children as just another animal, and treat them and eat them (if given half a chance) accordingly.

But even some adults do not show signs of the grand state of stiffdom. In some cultures these “limber dead” are said to possess superhuman powers. I wonder what they do with these “limber dead,” anyway? Are they worshiped, or left to rot like any common cadaver? They say Rigor Mortis onset and duration is also dependent on the ambient air temperature, so, try not to die someplace hot., for godsake. All muscles are affected, beginning with the eyelids, jaw, and neck. It then moves on to other muscles tissue, including those of the heart. Geez, is nothing sacred?

Now, after the body has been in this stiffened state for anywhere from one to two days, the muscles once again relax into a second sort of flaccidity, and the corpse begins to cool to a state called, “Algor Mortis.” Uhh, is that how Al Gore’s parents came up with his infernal name? That would certainly explain his stiff demeanor. Anyway, if the body is not embalmed at this point, a very, very stinky process known as “putrefaction” sets in, and you probably don’t want to be around when this happens. That is, unless you happen to be the stiff in question. There’s nothing quite as vile as a rotting human. Still, for the sake of education and the betterment of society, I will elaborate on its grislier details….hehe.

Your first sign that a corpse is beginning to putrefy is the appearance of a ghastly green hue on the lower right abdomen. This hideous discoloration then spreads over the remainder of the abdomen before moving on to the chest and thighs. Green skin accompanied by foul odors is a pretty good signed that someone has passed on, moved on, shipped out, bit the bullet, bit the dust, signed off, kicked the bucket…well, you get the drift. In this case, the drift is a rank mixture of sulphur-ridden stomach gasses and the breakdown of red blood cells. Now, if they can send a man to the moon, why can’t they bottle this lovely stench? What a lovely elixir it would make.

This gaseous concoction is not only responsible for the unmistakable putrid marker that says, “smells like someone died.”, but the bloating of the corpse as it turns from ghastly green, to putrid purple, and finally, the bleakest of blacks. Witness also, protrusion of the intestines through the anal and vaginal orifices. If that visual wasn’t gruesome enough, bloodstained fluid spews forth in copious quantities from said orifices, as well as the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

After about a week of this “activity,” the skin begins to form large, bloody blisters as the skin loosens and gradually slips away in what is referred to as, “skin slip”. And the stink isn’t over yet. Far from it. The internal organs haven’t yet had their say in this ghastly spectacle, and they too produce rank odors as their swollen state causes them to rupture and leak. After a few weeks, the nails, teeth, and hair loosen. Oddly enough, the corpse’s respective prostate and uterus can stay intact up to a year. Curious. It’s certainly no wonder embalming, cremation, mummification and the like have such a strong tradition in most cultures. There is truly nothing nastier than a rotting, human cadaver.

Now then, boys and girls. I hope we’ve all learned something today. Tune in next time, when we’ll discuss the glorious host of fauna and parasitic creatures that enjoy feeding on human cadavers. They include an entourage of bacteria, flies, beetles, moths, and my personal favorite, the maggot.

After death i believe that GOD will judge you and if you accept GOD and believe in Jesus Christ and have asked for forgiveness of your sins you will go to heaven and live an eternity in what was originally made as a perfect world in heaven or if not then you will go to hell and live in the worst place beyond any imagination of course i am talking i believe in christianity

i believe in the bible 100% and i think that we will wait the trial before the ONE and ONLY. as we wait i think we will haunt this planet and scare peeps i guess but its definetly a question we will never know the truth to. what happens after death? below is a passage i found on the internet.
