Is there more to it than this life? When we die do we no longer exist? Are we nothing before we are born? Why are some born "a Senator's son" (Fortunate Son - Creedance) while others can't even buy a pair of sneakers?

What do you think/believe in regarding death and life?

Ah, but that's not exactly the question.

I can respect the belief that there is something out there, while I don't share it. I find the concept of the afterlife a bit arrogant really - but very understandable, no one wants to face the end. People are so insignificant why should they matter?

You all know I believe in the afterlife. 

Concept of the afterlife is arrogant?  I'd agree if we gained a good afterlife by work we do ourselves.  However, that is not the case with Christianity because salvation isn't gained by good works.

Of course there is something else after you die.  Too many people have crossed from death to that world and seen people, conversed, interacted, and reported back upon being revived.  I've read several books about going "beyond the veil."  I also have my personal witness that it exists.  It's not even a debate for me to know there is life after this, just as there was before this.  It's sad that sooo many people limit their lives because they have no clue about the eternal nature of their souls.

Yes is winning?!?!? There are some very dissolutioned people on these forums...

Firstly I'd like to point out the title of this post.  It's "afterlife" but many of you are talking about reincarnation.  The after life is any existence after death including heaven and hell, ghosts etc  Reincarnation is being reborn as another person or living thing. 

They're both as ludicrous as each other though.  If you believe in Ghosts I'd advise you stop watching second rate horror movies and read a few books by Derren Brown; here proving that mediums are faking (and thus not talking to the dead)

If you believe in heaven and hell then after seeking psychiatric help, realize that the notion is nothing but an ancient 'carrot & stick' placebo.

As for reincarnation, think about it!  There would have to be exactly the same number of living organisms on the planet at all times.  How has the population grown unless every baby is unique?  The only explanation you can give is you go to heaven and hell and then we're back to the above.....

About reincarnation, there is probably life on other planets. Who said it was restricted to this world?

Just giving an answer, not saying i'm beleiving in that. But it sounds cool nonetheless.

That's not at all what I meant.

It's hard to explain without writing loads and loads, which I can't be bothered to do at the moment. By arrogance I meant the assertion that people are special and that there is meaning to everything. Nothing to do with individuals, but the human race as a whole.

Not so much arogance, as it is a teaching, if not a 'promise' within the bible (somewhere in the back , its in there though) then again since it was written by men we cant completly take it overboard.  Still, I find it hard to imagen that we are all hear by complete accident or random chain of events that took place without there being a begining to it, and perhaps this begining isnt what many religious types (myself included) have been lead to belive, but it all has to start somewhere.  To bad neither argument really can be justifed/proven, to say its beyond human comprehension is no more silly than saying God made the earth in six days.
