That's a good way of putting it. I don't believe that our soul's energy is extinguished when we die, but I don't believe in a literal place called Heaven like I learned as a child, either. And even though I believe our energy continues after death, I don't see that as a justification for keeping poor people down ("your reward is in heaven") or for not doing what we can to improve life here and now.

Of course not. Just as we did not exist before we were conceived, so we do not exist after we die.

I don't. I wish I could, though.

To me, there is only this life. This is where it matters and counts. I do good for my fellow members of humanity (and my own conscience), not for some reward or payoff when I die. It encourages me to make the most of now, as that's all I believe there is.

I think our energy continues somehow. I don't believe in a stereotypical heaven.

I believe in reincarnation. But not immediately after death - about 15 months or so after death does a soul become reincarnated.

I wish I did. But more and more - I think that when we die - it is over.

Have you ever watched a tv show (on the biography channel) called "Beyond and Back?"

I think you might be interested in it.

My religion does. But me, not so sure. Do you believe in life after death, and if so, why?
